How is Temple....just got an invitation for an interview, but I kind of know where I want to go already, should I go to this interview?? Damn, why didn't they just give it to me when I was in Philly already.

I agree it's not a nice neighborhood. As far as safety goes however, it's just a question of following common sense. Broad Street during the daytime is fine, and I've never had any reason to stay late (but I'm more a study-at-home person than in the library). There's a lot of campus security (including escort services) and the place gets well-lit at dark.
btw, almost all students commute to school from either center city or the suburbs, so you could easily live in the exact same place you would be going to Drexel, and only be 10-15 minutes away from school by car. There are a *lot* of options in terms of neighborhoods, depending on your price range and how far away you're willing to be.
Also, since X mentioned technology - Temple doesn't have the wireless internet option of Drexel, but the library does have tons of computers (waiting is almost never a problem) connected to high speed internet. You can also bring your own laptop and connect to the system if you have an ethernet card. A fair amount of people brought them when we had histo labs.
One last thing I should mention is that Temple has a fairly traditional curriculum in that we go by subject rather than organ system (with H/HP/P/F grading). It works for me, but is another factor to consider.
