This may be s u p e r early, but just committed to Temple for Fall 2019, and wanted to get the thread going!

If you're also joining Class of 2023 - give a shout! (Or if you are considering TUSPM, feel free to post here with any questions, etc.)

Pumped and ready for the next four years to come! 😏

I'm still looking. I'm hoping to be within a 10 minute walk from campus. There seems to be lots of options though!

What about you?

I’m starting to look into some off campus apt/housing options now just to familiarize myself— when are you guys thinking about really settling on a place and moving in? 1-2 months before school begins or earlier?? [emoji15]

I plan on doing SARP, so I was thinking of moving to Philly on July 1st. If apt hunting is like NYC, I’ll probably start searching for a place starting June. If not, I’ll start looking earlier.

Around June is a good idea I think. Things come fast and go fast. Leases end in summer usually and the land lords like to fill the spots within a month. Plenty of good options way better than on campus for cheaper around within <15min walk to school.

What made you choose temple? How has first year been? I was recently accepted, and I’m trying to decide where to go, but I’m having trouble deciding. I liked how big temple’s clinic was, and the professors all seemed nice. Maybe it was just my day, but some of the admissions staff seamed rude during my interview day.
 
Hey guys. I am a first year currently in TUSPM. I figured I would make an account to help answer questions that you guys may have as well!

How do you like the staggered class schedule ??

The classes are definitely staggered but it is not as crazy as you may think. While you are taking different classes at once. The material almost does coincide with one another. You could be looking at one system in Histology and then find yourself studying similar material on the same system in Physio and General Anatomy.

Not to hijack another question but here is my $.02.

My biggest deciding factors for Temple were:
1. It was super close to home
2. The clinic
3. It’s curriculum layout is something I had been used to.
4. You are branded with the Temple name. For some that may not be a big deal but for where I plan to be in the future, that is a nice perk to have.

First year has been a roller coaster of stress. All due to trying to find the best habits. Looking back at the first semester I find myself amazed at how I handled all the info in that time frame and don’t think that I’d ever want to do it again [Boy, am I in for a treat 2nd year]. But at the same time, when I was actually going through it I didn’t even realize how much I was going through, I just hunkered down and did what I had to do. For the second semester, after January, things are slowing down a lot more and I feel relaxed. Probably the most I’ve been all year. Your stress is going to arise from your own personal goals. If I was content with just passing the classes I could go out every night, but that is not the standard I set for myself.

The professors are awesome and work with you each step of the way if you need help. As for admissions, I wouldn’t worry about that. Could have been an off day but the last time I spoke with anyone from there was during my application process. So don’t let that be an influencer.

I got in! Is anyone rooming on campus and looking for a roommate? I have been in Philly for a while so if you are not from the area and want to meet up after school starts, lmk.

Also, is anyone doing SARP?
 
Hi ! Does anyone have time to talk about their first year at temple? I’m trying to make a decision about where to go for the class of 2024
