I even had the papers from the hospital and showed it to these pompous asswipes and they wouldn't refund me
Shittiest school in philly, go to other universities instead pleaseThis school also raised tuition by 50% while i was in school too
Academics is tricky. I am a speech-language pathology major. This is a good department. If your majoring in SLP, note that the classes are extremely challenging but the professors want you to do well! But you will have to work for it. The nice thing about this department is everyone is willing to help and there aren't many mean/bad professors. I don't know much about other majors but I know that the kinesiology program and business are really common and have a good reputation.
The major thing about Temple that I wish I could change are the required geneds. The school wants you to take classes that "interest" you outside of your major. Really, they are just all stupid and don't have to do anything. And the amount of English classes required to graduate is annoying (I had to take 4). I suggest you get them over with asap and move on to take classes that are actually important. Professors are hit or miss. Be careful of professors who don't speak clear English, that can make your semester terrible. Look them up before registering for the class.
The nightlife on and around campus is amazing! Lots of people go out (the parties are really fun--most of the time) but I also know people who don't. They always say that not many people party, drink, etc but that's kinda false. Unless you plan on paying to go into the city every single weekend, it is fun to go to parties because what else will you do besides sit in the dorm? But I mean if you don't like that kind of scene its really not that big of a deal.
Speaking of North Philadelphia, I have never felt that unsafe on campus or on the surrounding area. People: you are in north Philly! Be smart! There really no reason anything bad should happen. And there are literally police and bike cops EVERWHERE. No matter the time. Don't let the safety or location of the campus effect your decision. Trust me, you will be fine. Being close to the city is amazing, and I think that why so many people love Temple. Take advantage of it, your paying a lot for a school in the city so might as well take advantage of the location. I love TU and have not met 1 other person who also didn't love it.
The Instructors are not teachers. They are from the business world and this explains the problem.
They act Friendly and helpful. However, they wore Arrogant and Self-absorbed. Majority of them are very Unhelpful when Approached. The good and helpful Instructors are fired.
Most international Students are singled out and are made Afraid to speak out. If and when someone speaks out, they try everything they can possibly do to cover their colleagues back. I have seen them put a student through numerous Disciplinary hearings in order to make the student exhausted enough to give-up, or to leave the school. Making other Afraid to speak out.
FOX is making the programs artificially more difficult to improve their ranking statistics. For-instance, the FOX Management Information Systems (MIS) department keeps changing their requirements. Minimum grade to pass a class is now C+ and may retake the class one (1) time before they kick the students out of the program. This is a different requirement than the one set out by FOX school. FOX says passing is a D or D+ and students may retake the class three (3) time before they kick them out.
This shows the Main Focus of this school is Ranking and Money. They just DO NOT CARE about the STUDENTS! They Trying to Broken the Spirits of the students. They lie every time you meet with anyone. The can be from admissions office, FOX Advisors, of even the Department Chair. After meeting it is not surprising to receive a day to a few weeks later an obscure email stating an apology and a change to any agreements made within the meeting.
By their own admission Temple says, in average it takes Students Six (6) Years to finish a 4 year degree. This means so-many people take much longer than 6 years to finish a degree. All pointing to one irrefutable fact, that Temple FOX school DO NOT CARE about the STUDENTS, just the Money.
