I am an undergraduate at the Japan Campus.Quite BrightEconomics
I am an undergraduate at the Japan Campus. The school is a joke especially their Japanese program. Even with fluent Japanese they won't give you credits for Japanese skills. Even if you start from nothing they program will not get you to even N2 making you not just unemployable on the fact that your major is Japanese but also on the fact that you can't actually speak Japanese.

Question
I came to Temple because it has aQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I came to Temple because it has a major which is hard to find elsewhere. Looking back, I should have gone somewhere else and majored in something close in terms of field of study - even if it wasn't exactly what I wanted. University administration is dysfunctional - they will lose your tuition checks, they will keep you on hold for 2+ hours, they will throw extra, unexplained charges onto your bills. Faculty is a mixed bag. I've had a handful of really excellent professors, but I've also had some of the worst teachers I've ever seen. I've had classes that were run so poorly that the average attendance rate was maybe 2 students out of 40 per class. I've had exams that were completely unrelated to class material that needed to be curved 60 points or more just so enough people would pass and the class wouldn't be audited by administration.Avoid this school as best you can. It is a "cheap" option compared to many other schools in the Philadelphia area. But you get what you pay for, and at Temple you're not getting much.

Question
The College of Education DOES NOT prepare youBrightEducation
The College of Education DOES NOT prepare you in any way to actually obtain a teaching job. You are just a number to them. Other Universities such as Shippensburg or U of Penn actually take the time to assist you in finding placement in your desired field, Temple does not do anything for you. Very poorly organized.
