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.

Question
I followed my advisers and the set courseQuite BrightChemistry
I followed my advisers and the set course for my major, yet Temple only offers certain courses during the fall and spring. Two courses I needed to take Spring of my junior year were only offered in the spring and they also happened to only be offered at the exact same time so that Temple could force you to stay an extra semester and cheat you out of money. Don't goto this school it's a crock for Science majors. Most of their classes are only offered in the Spring or Fall, so if you either don't get in, or they schedule classes at the same time then you can't finish your degree like they tell you you can.

Question
The school sucks especially for science majors.Quite BrightChemistry
The school sucks especially for science majors. the staff misleads you into the wrong classes. i have a 3.5 GPA, but the work is dumb. in order to succeed here you need to rich or have parents who knows everything. the staff will lie and mislead you until you have to be here for 10 more years. advisory staff also made up of dumb idiots who only knows how to refer websites. hence, one of them was some african american history major and another was some economics. obviously neither had good gpas.
