Diversity Grades:
College Prowler Take
Temple broadcasts the fact that it is a diverse school. It has a large population representative of most ethnicities, but Temple is a predominately white school. Still, with all the diversity at Temple, you could possibly find someone from the same hometown, with the same birth date, and with the same major. During the first year at Temple, you will see the same faces, but once you start exploring Temple, you will definitely see how diverse it really is. Diversity is one of the main reasons why many Temple students decide to come here every year. There is at least one person from the school that will have a different religion, creed, background, or race, and it doesn’t hurt to get to know that person, even if only for your personal growth. What’s amazing at Temple, or probably most diverse colleges, is that you meet people you never thought existed. Students Speak Out

It was real diverse when I got there—lots of everything, but by my fourth year, two of my good friends were RAs and they said they had white residents coming to them asking where the diversity was because it didn’t seem as diverse as they were told it was going to be. |
