Questions about Temple University???

<p>I know I can get into much better schools but for some reason I am very attached to this one. It is one of my safety schools yet I still love it. I live in a suburban town just outside of Philly so its close to home. It is one of the cheapest schools I am looking at. I also want to possibly double major in History and Biology.Considering Grad school for Marine Biology. I also have been to the city so many times through out my life. My family however think differently they tell me all of the horrible things that will happen if I go there. I just want to know is it really that unsafe? (please be honest). Is it possible to get a dorm all four years? (not be too comfortable living off campus). How is it transportation wise (is transportation safe)? Is there a lot to do as a student? I just want to know is Temple worth it, I love the school but I don't want to make a decision I will regret. Any other tips will be appreciated!</p>
