I've done some research on Temple's tuition and clinical reputation which seem pretty good, and Im planning to apply there. But I couldn't find out about what its like to be a student there day to day.

im hoping if some current students can fill in the gaps:

Is the class collaborative (sharing notes, old exams, study groups) or more competitive?
What's the workload level like, especially first and second year before clinic picks up?
hows the location? i saw from online it wasn't that good

also lmk if im posting in the wrong place or if theres a better place to post this, its my first post on sdn
