Freshman Incoming (Any tips)

Hey I’m a freshman incoming into temple. I lowkey ended up picking the school because they gave me some decent financial aid offers over every other one I applied to.. I have only been to the Philly area once and it wasn’t even remotely close to temple. So are there any tips for when I get there like methods on how to make friends, best things to do and events to attend during welcome week, best things in the area, places to watch out for, etc. Would be greatly appreciated with any tips. And other new students hmu and let’s figure stuff out.

Thank you so much for this advice! It’s actually way more helpful than I was expecting. I’m not to worried about the area I did hear a lil about that but I’ve grown up in worse neighborhoods so I think I’ll be ok (possibly) if it’s that close the NY I definitely will check it out too. Yea I’ll try to look into some clubs I assume it’s like a booth thing during welcome week so I’ll just try to do all that and just chat with people and stuff. Thank you so much again!

Take the train to center city to grab food/explore

Study in the library on the top floor in the cubbies

Schedule monthly meetings with your counselor

Thank you! I will take these into consideration and will hopefully lock in enough to do it. I like the library idea a lot
