At Temple, students are free to make their own decisions and discover things for themselves. It’s a place where there’s always new people to meet, new friends to make, and new things to talk about. Here's what some of our students are talking about right now:

Jacynda Purnell, Theater,
Class of 2014
I’ve been a city girl all my life, so there was no debate about whether or not I’d go to school in a city. When I went to Temple’s open house, and went on a tour with one of the Owl Ambassadors, I was sold.
Ray Smeriglio, International Business,

Temple's leadership opportunities and avenues to get involved are what make it such a great school. As a sophomore I've had the opportunity to be the Director of University Pride & Traditions for Temple Student Government and an Owl Team Leader for new student orientations.

Temple University has a great "small school feel" while being located in an urban area.
