Resident life at Temple offers students much more than just a place to rest their heads at night. Far more than just being a place to crash and store stuff, dorms give students the chance to interact with one other and have a great time doing it. Dorms at Temple are equipped with computer labs, workout facilities, snack machines, study lounges and patios. Whether students want to satisfy their midnight cravings with a quick stop at Maxi ' s Pizza, grab a smoothie at the Student Center, or get their early morning cup of coffee at 7-11, everything is available right on campus. With the new addition to the Student Center now open. Temple now offers students a place to play pool, foosball, and get together in The Underground, a place where bands can jam out and students can get their groove on. Pizza parties, community service projects, field trips to amusement parks, group outings to the King of Prussia Mall and other activities are all sponsored through residential living. I love living here on campus, says Lauren Miller, a sophomore living in Temple Towers. You do what you want, when you want, and you are able to meet so many people while experiencing it all in such a convenient manner. - Rebecca Rotkowski 26 Resident Life Rachel Playe, a B sophmore resident, reads Ayn Rand ' s We the Living while she exercises on one of 1 300s recumbant Bicycles.
