It was the only one I got into at the time. I didn't like the first school I was at and desperately wanted to get out and this was the only school I could transfer to so I took it because it was better than my old school.

Course Curriculum

5

The course choices for the major are not good. I don't feel well prepared for any jobs in the future. Temple is not known or well for this major. The courses I feel like are not the main core courses that would be needed I feel like it is more about the nitty gritty specialization courses that are not very important.

Exams

SAT -1200 at the highest (third time) 1010 first time And 1130 second time Act- I don't really remember I think it was 22.

Placement

5

Hard. This field is for people who aren't in it for the money, more for people who are passionate about it. It's a competitive field and hard to get a job like most liberal arts majors are. That's why I'm really disappointed by the program because I don't feel well prepared.

Internship

Yes, a lot of them are outside internships though and hard to get because it is not just temple students applying for them also because it's a hard field, to begin with, and Philadelphia is not really the city for this job anyway. A lot of them are unpaid.

Events

6

There's not really events celebrated. Sometimes they do stuff for the program like they have a club or they do information events to help people learn about how to get internships or build resumes etc. I'm not really sure because I don't partake.

Fees

Tuition. There are no additional fees to be in the program besides tuition which is state school somewhere under $8,000.

Scholarship

I got financial aid and scholarship through filling out FAFSA and having a temple reward them. I didn't have any outside ones.

Examination Structure

A lot of my classes related to the program didn't have exams. I would say they're alright I guess a test is a test.

Hostel

3

My first semester I lived on campus and I hated it because I don't like living in a big city which a bunch of college students. Then I moved lived back home and commuted and it's been better since then.
