“ What’s it like to go to Temple University? ”
1 Answer-
Temple began in the 1880s as a night school for ambitious young adults in Philadelphia, so adopting the wise, nocturnal owl as its mascot seems fitting. The institution has since grown into a large, public, urban university serving a diverse student body. Nearly a quarter of undergrads come from outside of Pennsylvania, and minority students number more than 40 percent. Around 80 percent of Temple students live off campus (though freshmen who want a spot in university housing usually can get one), but don’t worry – there are hundreds of clubs and events that bring students together outside of the classroom, including cheering on Temple’s Division I athletic teams. It’s virtually impossible to talk about Temple without discussing the city of Philadelphia. Center City Philadelphia, less than two miles from campus. It’s a hub for shopping, business, and city life. The possibilities are immense – from professional sporting events to museums to restaurants for any taste. Without doubt, Temple students never need to feel isolated or bored.

Philadelphia also serves as a real-world campus for academic research projects and internships, and the Temple’s career center team is eager to help students find valuable experiences to support post-graduation goals. Temple also conducts on-campus job fairs, mock interviews, and resume critiques. Alumni rave about Temple’s virtual networking hours – 60-minute events that allow Owls from everywhere to connect.
