I am an engineering major wanting to transfer from a small, Catholic college to Temple University.

<p>I want to transfer into Temple's College of Engineering for Fall 2015, in which I will have completed two years of school at the small college I go to now. </p>

<p>There are many reasons why I wish to transfer, a few being the lack of quality of the program I am in now, my school's location (essentially the middle of nowhere), my general unhappiness, and a few other personal reasons.
I just wanted to know how I should proceed, as I realize I will most likely need to find off-campus housing, apply for scholarships, etc. I would also like to join the marching band to meet people and make acquaintances (something I am worried about) and earn some scholarship money as well.</p>

<p>Is there opportunity for engineering or science-specific work-study at Temple U? Where is the best housing to apply for? </p>

<p>I really have wanted to leave where I am since I got here, but some issues prevented me from doing so until now. I also am thinking of living and working in Philadelphia once I graduate, so it wouldn't be an unnecessary trip (I am from around Pittsburgh).</p>

<p>Thank you for reading my slightly scatterbrained question. Any advice or personal stories would help greatly!</p>

<p>check out The View for off campus housing, it is right next to campus. if u decide to go live on campus, i recomendd teh dorms on the southern end of campus(eg Morgan or 1300), or teh following dorms: johnson, hardwick, or 1900. Temple towers is also on south end of campus but my kid, who is in 1300, is kind of meh on Temple Towers. i will ask him about why later. i will get in touch with teh mom of a kid who is in the marching band but i know my son had lots of emials about auditioning for the marching band once he paid his deposit to go to Temple. i have no idea about transfer scholarships. get on Temple’s website and look that up. i think there are some transfer scholarships. probably on the work study question but i have no further detals. My kid is enjoying both Temple and philly. </p>
