<p>i was accepted to both of these schools and i was wondering which school has more prestige, better programs,and location...? i've done some research,but i'm kinda of lost.(i know these things are opinion based ,but just answer them!) thanks :)</p>
<p>Temple is a major state related inner city university with a very diverse student body, numerous well known programs and Div 1 athletics. West Chester is a state supported university in a mid sized suburban town 25 miles from Phila. West Chester was originally a teachers college but has expanded over the years. Because of reasonable instate pricing, it attracts students primarily from Pa. The student body and range of programs is considerable smaller than Temple’s. Many students live off campus at both of these colleges but West Chester has considerable more car commuters.</p>
<p>which one you do like more?</p>
<p>that’s for you to answer. Why don’t you visit them? You could see both in the same day.</p>
<p>yeah, i’ll be visiting temple this weekend.</p>
<p>WCU’s reputation is getting better every year, but Temple is a better school in every way possible. Temple has a national and international reputation and draws students from around the U.S. and the world. I’ve never heard of someone from outside of PA and maybe NJ going to WCU.</p>
