Temples Business School College is called FOX.Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
Temples Business School College is called FOX. This College is very different than all the other Colleges within Temples.

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.

Question
I attended the Japan Campus, and I hopeNot so brightEconomics
I attended the Japan Campus, and I hope students considering the Japan Campus please read this and take this into consideration. Temple University Japan Campus is not even a real college, but a diploma mill.

This college has several law suits against them for how they treat students with disabilities, particularly those with psychological problems. I was denied accommodations for my disability. TUJ has a terrible ableist attitude.

Yes, all schools have problems. Yes, college is expensive. But at the Japan Campus you get little back for what you pay for. Like most private institutions, their top priority is making as much money as possible, while getting away with providing as little as possible.

The "campus" consists of no more than an office building. Since they accept everyone who can pay, it is cramped, noisy, and smelly. Good luck trying to find a study space or a computer to work at.

The professors are of poor quality and are poorly paid, which means they have no interest in the students.

The student body is there only because of the Tokyo location. That is the only good thing they have going for them. But please remember, there are other options if you really want a visa to study in Tokyo. For example, you could go to Japanese language school. My friends who went to language schools ended up having a better experience in Japan than I did. Please look into other options before wasting your money at TUJ!!!!!

You could go to a better school for a lot less money.
Also, I was attacked by a student and the administration only laughed at me.The people at Student Services are no help. They outright lied to me on a few occasions and ultimately cost me my visa.

Question
Mixed reviews because some of the professors hereSuper BrilliantMusic Education
Mixed reviews because some of the professors here are brilliant and have helped me tremendously. Others fill you up on busy work.

The student body is incompetent, unfriendly, and made for some of the most depressing years of my life.

I look back wishing I had a college experience. I didn't get it here.
For the professors that have made a positive change in my life, and there are quite a number of you, I apologize for bashing your workplace.

To nearly all the students and to the other half of the faculty, I may need therapy to counter all the crap I encountered at this horrible school.I have absolutely no Temple pride, and never will. There is no community here or anything remotely fun to do.
