How good is Temple University? I am trying to decide between a few colleges, and I am planning on going on a pre-law track with an economics major. I heard safety is an issue at Temple, so my parents are worried about that aspect. I also haven’t seen too much about class layouts. I am from Massachusetts and want to know if it is worth the 4.5-hour distance when I also have Umass Amherst as an option. Please let me know your opinions! I’m very conflicted.
Temple alum, married to a Temple alum, and mother of a Temple freshman here. My daughter lives on campus (Morgan) and loves it. The campus has changed significantly since I was an undergraduate. It’s amazing! How comfortable are you in the city? Here’s the patrol zone for Temple Public Safety: https://safety.temple.edu/operations-programs/main-campus-patrol-map. Are your parents willing to take you on a visit?
