***Official Temple C/O 2012 Acceptance Thread***

Members do not see this ad.

Every student I talked to said they had never been there past 5 because they are "encouraged" to leave by 5 and they didn't know anyone who had been there past 5.

That's only a rumor that's been spread on and on and on. One person tells another to leave before 5, that person now tells another to leave before 5, and so on. A handful of 4rth year students told me that it's just some sort of myth that spreads like a disease. In fact, they knew a few people that stayed until 8-11pm around the vicinity. They only knew this one kid who was mugged twice and apparently he left campus at times past midnight.


I hope they tell the next round of interviewees that one of the requirements for Temple is to grow some balls. 😀

This may be the most important question i have regarding the area surrounding temple d schoo. Is there qdoba or chipotle close by? If not i think i made a wrong decision on where to attend school.

There's a lot of qdoba's in center city.


I'm finding an apartment based on it's proximity to Dunkin Donuts.

YEssssss, that makes me feel much better. I eat at those places 2-4 times a week. Where i was living this summer there were neither, so when my friends drove to visit me i had them pick me one up on their way (my poor burrito) was 2 hours old, but still good.

And i understand i have a problem w/ this food, and im NOT willing to get help about it. This is an addiction that i will never give up.

 

[jdmsamurai]

just a question for anyone accepted in January and sent in their deposit, did they cash your check yet?....it seems odd because they haven't cashed my check and they received and confirmed with me on the 6th of feb. thanks

 

[CzechSteelPens]

I was accepted in Dec. but they took a long time to cash my first deposit check and not quite so long to cash the second. Very unlike USC, who cashed my check as soon as it got there. But hey, I guess they need that money to pay their football players 😎. I'm personally stoked to be attending a school that actually has a football team, even if they're one of the worst programs in Division 1. 20,000 undergrads at UCI and no damn football team!

I second (or i guess third) the needing to grow balls comment. Seriously, it's not like Philly is Iraq or Somalia or someplace like that. Bad things happen everywhere, just a bit more prevalent in Killadelphia. Hell, we had a guy go crazy in Irvine a few years ago and killed people in a supermarket with a samurai sword, almost didn't believe it when I first heard it. Then again, I think that was the only murder in Irvine that year.

 

[Truedat]

Any school where students are basically required to leave by 5 can't be too safe...

That is just crazy talk . Unlike Corrolla I park my car in the ghetto w/o paying for a pass. At times over the past two years I've left many times after 11 o'clock trying to get projects done. Never have had a problem, most people in the neighborhood know there are Dental/med/nursing students walking around and respect that. They might try to bum some change off you but thats about it. Ohh...and if you do feel unsafe there is service where campus police can escort you where ever you need to go.

That's what I was told by the students when I interviewed there, but I didn't feel threatened while I was there or on the subway from my city center hotel/to the airport with my bags. Although I agree about the beggars, I was asked probably twenty times for money and they never believed me when I said I had none even though I never carry cash.

 

[Dan3223]

I'd probably feel a little nervous at night by myself... but other than that, it didnt seem too bad.

 

[letsgfuad]

when i interviewed there i was walking around at 9 at night w/ a laptop case, suit, and bag. I got a few looks, but never felt uncomfortable until a dental student said i should probably not walk to far from the school.

Be my donut buddy. 👍 I need someone to have food with so I won't feel so bad.

It's a good thing I have fast metabolism.

I didn't want to break the news like this guys, but Brian Hahn was fired the other day. I don't know all the details but I guess he was letting people in to Temple who didn't deserve it - under the table acceptances for CASHMONEY!








I was a little disappointed because B.Hahn was my hero.

J/K guys. I was bored at 12:30 am studying for pharmacology. Sorry to smear your good name Brian😀

 

[toofshucker]

I thought I left after 5 once, then I got home and realized that it was daylight savings....Seriously, don't be stupid, but don't worry about it either. It seems like the people who get hurt (I haven't heard of any dental students, just stories in the news) are the ones with no common sense that do stupid things.

I thought that he only accepted large quantities of chocolate, by the way that's a hint for all of you who want to get in. Send 5-7 lbs of your favorite chocolate directly to Brian Hahn and a day later good things happen.

 

[Lfc12]

I will be anyone's buddy to dunkin doughnuts, anytime. In fact, I stopped there before my interview. Also am a HUGE fan of chipotle, moe's or whatever they have up there. Also yes for phillly cheesesteaks.

 

[masenasty]

well i found out that some TLC works best, thats what i did and i got accepted on the spot. no chocolate or cashmoney, jus pure lovin'. Try it out. I promise it works.

Whoa im in for some food at all parts of the day.


Side note: any one lift weights? I need a lifting partner too. Or maybe we could just do some roids.

funny that you mentioned that...i just got back from the gym..
i used to lift weights a lot!...but then school got in the way...now i have 5 months to kill so i'm back to lifting weights...trying to get back to my prime again...

sorry...i don't do roids though...i do creatine + whey protein + try to eat healthy 🙂laugh🙂...keyword...try...lol

i decided not to go to temple. if i did i would be down to lift all the time. hey jdm, doesn't it feel like you are always trying to get back to your prime? i always find myself living and thinking about the past until the next prime ... if that makes sense. =)

i completely understand....this is usually what happens

summer break = 3 month of hard lifting (looking good)...and then school starts and no time for lifting weights...your brain needs a lot of glucose energy so you snack away for the next 9 months...and by summer you have a belly 🙁...so you start all over again....lol

back during my prime i could flat bench 185lbs, and max at 205 lbs...keep in mind this is coming from a 5'3 guy weighing only 135lbs...now since i started over im benching 125lbs...a lot of work to do...

i recently had to break my body in again...i hate the pain of not working out for a long time and working out again...it hurts like heck!

thats pretty good. when i start lifting again, i get a lil sad when i realize how much strength and progress ive lost.

WHOA.

You were my donut buddy FIRST! 😡


I'm joking of course.

I <3 food. And someone should run on the adjacent treadmill with me at the gym. But don't ever run faster than 6.2 mph. I hate it when people run faster than I do at the gym. Not cool.

Yeah i take muscle milk, and a whey protein. I was taking naNO vapor which increased my stamina significantly and i was lifting more weight, but im a little hesitant on taking supplements. Whats your take on creatine, do you find it to have any placebo effects or what? Im just worried about my kidneys, eventhough when i took it i only drank h20.

ill run w/ ya too. I run 30 mins/day when i lift. You mean you dont run at 11 to hit that 6 minute mile? pfff weird 😀

i only take creatine when i havent worked out in a long time and start working out again. after i finish it (the bottle) i would take whey protein + muscle milk too and not creatine again. creatine just gives you a quick boost...which is much needed in my shoes for now.

 

[massumeh18]

so what should i do? I really want to go to temple...

 

[Dan3223]

Muscle Milk is good stuff 🙂

 

[udonzilla]

a box of chocolate would help. =) but yeah, muscle milk tastes good. i agree.

Oh please. Once I hit my goal of 3.5 miles I'm done for the friggin day.
30 minutes on the Lifefitness trainer, no more, and (usually) no less. I don't lift and I don't believe too many women do (not that it would influence whether or not I lift). I can't even lift 30 lbs in a set of 10 (I have a small build). Complete wanker.

don't press the ^ button to challenge me. 6 mph is as high as I'll go 😎😉

Oh dang. Ill bust out the 10 and hit my six min mile. Whats the lifefitness trainer? The ellipticals??? i hate those things.

Women should lift weights, helps build bone density. But i pretty much only go to the gym is to have a wondering eye on all the hotties (girls) that are doing cardio. Haha just kidding, but it is nice! 🙄

Lifefitness makes both the treadmills and the ellipticals. AND WHAT'S SO WRONG WITH THEM ELLIPTICALS? 😛 it's cardio all the same, right? I stick to the treadmills. If I stand near the weight equipment, there's too many guys showing off how they could bench twice my body weight. Kills my joy. 👎

[amezoko]

Hi everyone,
Do you recommend living on-campus as a first year? If anyone has experienced this, please let me know what you think about it. And how does the housing application process go? I'm also wonder if there is anything I can do now since I'm still busy with my last semester as an undergrad in Cali and won't be able to seriously do anything until the end of May.

 

[metrochem]

as far as i know, there is no such thing as "on campus housing at temple. they dont offer dorms or things of that nature. if you read this thread youll hear people talking about living in areas where a lot of student lives that are close to school, i.e manayunk, roxboro, center city

Ellipticals hmm im just not a big fan. i think guys look funny when they do them. Yeah those guys are trying to impress you.... exactly what i "try" to do at the gym too. But i tdoesnt work very well.

 

[bluejellybelly]

my friend told me that all the gyms in philly suck. 😱 It's funny, there's so many comparative prices between the ones in center city, the cheapest one (12th street gym) being 49 bucks a month!

Honestly, I figured being in NYC was more costly, but the gym memberships are roughly $20-40 bucks here... $50-70 / month for a gym in philly... suddenly I'd much rather give up the sugar in my coffee every day.

 

[CzechSteelPens]

I'm sure there's a gym that students can use for free. Or you can just run down Broad St. at midnight. You'll have plenty of adrenaline!

 

[1992Corolla]

health science center (where you ate lunch) has a gym in the basement. There is basketball, indoor soccor, weights, treadmills, etc. It is quite nice.

Rocky Balboa style. My freshman year dorm had a basement gym that looked like a dungeon. The equipment was from the 1970s and 80s so we called it "Rocky's Gym."

Indoor Soccer, I'm there 😀

 

[dandeez]

Is anybody looking for a roommate/roommates? I am a male, 22 years old, from miami, and need somewhere to stay. Preferably Center City. ???????

 

[bluejellybelly]

wow, everyone seems to be either from california or florida.
