"T E M P L E! I love this city! I love this place! I'm an outdoor fanatic, and the city gives me a lot of opportunities for that! However, I'm a professional tree climber and outdoor sportsman and there's not a lot of that here, but I make do with what I have: Stop signs, street lamps, mail boxes, anything I can get these tricky hands on! I love the city and I love my roommate Jeff (hey jeff!). Temple is the place to be, regardless of what you're into. So come visit, climb a tree, do whatever! ..."

"One night in late January we had a belated white christmas. It was amazing, it snowed and snowed and snowed for a solid day, and for once accumulated in the city. Here we are used to a quarter inch of snow that eventually becomes puddles and grey mush, but this was pure white fluffy snow. Everyone was outside having snowball fights, making snowmen, etc. A bunch of the kids outside decided to wage war in individual dorm halls. No one could hold back a smile with all that snow, it was amazing. ..."

"Shalom! I must say I absolutely LOVE TEMPLE! I mean the name speaks for itself! I'm an avid Jewish follower and so the name Temple seems to fit with my life quite well. The campus is so diverse and I've met and befriended not only more Mensch's, but also kids from other religions and races. I'm so glad to be part of this community, and I tell all my friends in high school to come here as well! I can't wait for whats ahead! My Uncle Mitch recommended it to me, so hey Mitch! Mazeltov! Josh aka dots ..."

"Freshman year I realized my RA was a cool dude! Later he was president of the student body at Temple. Sophomore year- I followed, became an RA. Today my closest friends were RA's with me. Waldo Sainvilus, Sioban Massiah, Sarah Flynn... the bond we built in White Hall as RA's together is like family. We laughed, cried, fought, inspired, educated one another and those lessons and moments shared together are my most priceless at Temple. Temple built me a family away from home. I'm blessed!! ..."
