Best methods of transportation?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I will be an upcoming student at Temple University during the fall. I am well aware of the location of Temple and the "gangs" affiliated with the surrounding neighborhoods. My girlfriend is attending Philadelphia University in the fall as well. I was wondering if I wanted to maybe visit my girlfriend during the weekend or something, what would be my best bet of getting there?</p>

<p>I don't know if subways would be safe or if maybe getting a taxi would be more efficient since the two universities are so close together.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>best way i found looking it up on google maps was to take the Regional Rail (red line towards Norristown) which is on east side of Temple, but you had to walk 14 minutes from the stop near Phil U to get to Phil U. i don’t know how the neigborhoods are around your girlfriend’s school. so a taxi may be easiet way to go. i don’t think there is a subway that will connect the 2 schools.and getting the regional rail at Temple should be fine, but pricey. the stop is about one block off campus. </p>
