Weather Is Ok

There are four seasons in Philly. In the beginning of the school year its blazing hot with stifling humidity, then the fall comes with cooler relief. The winter is freezing and its snows, but the administration rarely closes school because of the snow. We had our own "Snowgate" this past winter with the administration deciding to open school when the city was basically shutdown. Then spring comes and so does the rain; seems like its been raining everyday.

Temple is good for what it is

Overall if I had to choose a college again I would consider Temple. The diversity alone at the school is a huge selling point. But there are downsides about TU that I don't like. My biggest gripe has to be with the administration and the campus employees who on average have some of the worst attitudes ever. Not every Temple employee is a &%$# there are truly some gems here who will go beyond to help you, but they are in the minority. Everything at Temple involves a long wait, and then someone who seeing someone who seems agitated that you are seeking assistance from them. The academics are ok some professors really care others are blah. But the best part about Temple is the city itself. If it weren't for Philly I would have decided to transfer long ago instead of waiting until after this year to leave. Temple is good school but it just ain't for me.
