4.3

Temple is a research-based R1 university.

Tips: You must know about the culture and Temple Pride Month. There are lots of things that Temple provides to students, like advanced courses and personal guidance for assignments. You will also enjoy the parties and culture of the USA. It’s really fun.

Likes (Internships): Temple is a research-based R1 university. It provides a versatile experience with real-life scenarios as well as advanced labs so it's a very good experience when you enrol as an intern. So, lots of companies come to the fair and you get a chance to showcase your skills, and there you can get a chance to intern.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Don't look for a part-time job here. The main focus should be on studying, and that can be challenging enough as it is. I wouldn't advise trying to tackle both studying and working at the same time. The workload for each is already significant, and you wouldn't want to overwhelm yourself too much.

The faculty are very helpful, understanding and supportive.

Tips: Students should check for off-campus accommodations that are close to the university and for scholarships. Ask college professionals about your average expenses and make sure that you have some extra money just in case of an emergency. Going to a different country might get lonely in the start but once you get to know your classmates and make some friends it gets better over the period of time.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty for my department is excellent. They help you study everything that you are supposed to learn. Make ways to communicate and meet you if you cannot understand something in class and will also try to make almost everything easy for you to understand and help learn and grow.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is easily available but it is still a lot expensive than what you might expect. Also, sometimes the quality won't even be up to the mark. Buying groceries for Indian food might be costly but less expensive than eating outside. I prefer cooking and making food for myself most of the time as it is less expensive and you know you're eating healthy.
