Living in Edge as a Freshman

Colleges and Universities A-Z Temple University

<p>The only two building options I was given on my housing form were Peabody and the Edge. While I wouldn't be particularly inclined to live at Peabody, as it is one of the older ones if I'm not mistaken, Edge seems almost...too nice. Does anybody have any idea of how many freshmen actually end up living in Edge? Does it do anything to disrupt the feeling of a "college experience"? Is there anybody that lived there that would be willing to share his/her experience?</p>

<p>Also, if I was accepted into the Honors program, would you recommend choosing 1300, even if Edge is an option? The Edge obviously appears nicer, but would the benefits of the Honors community outweigh the luxuries of Edge? And how much of a difference in price is there? The website seems to skirt around that particular issue...</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Thanks! Don't know how I managed not to find that one, but it seems that half of the links on Temple's website lead to nowhere and unless you know exactly where to look, you're out of luck. It would appear from that chart that Freshman don't actually end up living in Edge, but if that's the case why would it be an option for me? I'm still curious about my other questions too, if anyone has some answers...</p>
