These students are amazed by the diversity:

"I'm so proud I chose Temple because I've really branched out and sought change when I could have remained close to home in a comfortable, enclosed environment. My dream has always been to travel and experience new things with all sorts of people, and Temple is helping me to do just that by broadening my perspective and introducing me to diversity." - Holly Zimmerman, 2020

"I'm proud I chose Temple because I've really been able to grow here and meet new people that I wouldn't have met if I stayed in a community like my hometown." - Nick, 2018

"We are an amazing school." - Anonymous, 2018

"Student love for this school and diversity." - Anonymous, 2020


These students love TU more than PSU:

"It makes me proud that I went to a school that is on the come up and not a cliche (aka Penn State)" - Anonymous, 2018

"I've been able to accomplish so much in such a little time here, and I've watched my friends do the same. Plus we know how to turn up like no other and beat Penn State." - Bexx402, 2017

"Temple handles everything in a classier way that we can all be proud of. For example, the way we handled the Cosby scandal vs. the way Penn State handled the Paterno scandal." - Anonymous, 2019


These nursing students are excited for their futures:

"Temple has given me many opportunities to grow as an adult. The nursing program also is very rigorous in preparing me to be successful as a registered nurse in the future. Temple is also well known for it's many accomplishments in which I can say I am a part of." - Long Eo, 2017

These students know the Owls are making a name for themselves:

"Spirit and accomplishments of the school! We have so many opportunities to connect with like minded others and achieve new heights." - Anonymous, 2020

"Temple University has given me great social, cultural, and educational experiences that I know I will use throughout my life. I have made friends here that I know will last a lifetime!" - Brooke, 2017

"Temple has been the best decision I have ever made. Everything about this school makes you proud to go here." -Max, 2016


And this student who was pleasantly surprised:

"Here's the thing: I didn't want to go to Temple. When I made up the decision to go to Temple, I felt like I was giving up on my dreams. That could not be further from the truth. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful that the circumstances forced me to go the Temple, because now that I am on campus, I understand that no other college could provide me with as many opportunities and tools for success at the relatively low price that Temple does. Plus, being in the honors program means I have the small class sizes and seminar-style classes that I otherwise would've paid tens of thousands of dollars more for at the small liberal arts college I once thought was a better fit. I am proud to call Temple home." - Claire McGlinchey, 2020

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
