Anything from a nurse, a dancer, film director, accountant, researcher, lawyer, etc., here is where your dreams can be your forever reality.
11. The world is found within your fingertips
I will never forget during freshman year orientation when our leader made the statement that Temple has the power to lead you anywhere in this world, literally. Surrounded by us constantly are subways, trains, and buses that have the ability to transport you locally or to other major cities starting from 30th St. Station. Looking at a larger scale, with the use of public transportation is Philadelphia International Airport which provides you access to over 400 one way tickets daily worldwide. The world is yours.
12. You will forever be Temple Made.
In 2 years when I graduate from Temple University, I will officially be one of approximately 400,000 other individuals who have gained a degree from this great school. No matter what opportunities or choices that are made following my time spent here in the city of Philadelphia, this university will always hold a special place in my heart.
