Student Life Where all the action occurs Everyone at Temple Uni- versity starts off with a ba- sic intention: to graduate. In four years, Temple transforms students from diamonds in the rough to showcase quality di- amonds, glimmering and pristine. The four years spent here are, for most .students, the first time they have lived away from home, whether in a dorm or off-campus. This is a time for students to grow, learn and discover how well they can do on their own. Students learn that miscellaneous clothes can- not be thrown in the wash- ing machine together or they will end up with a lot of tie-dyed apparel. They have learned that there will not always be someone hounding them about do- ing school work; it just needs to get done and get done well. Everything a student does is his her own choice and every choice has its own consequence. Commuters learn to deal with SEPTA, the busy Pa- ley Library and sitting at the Bell Tower doing work before class. Yet, at the same time, Temple has shown students some of the best years of their lives. Be- tween the hangouts discov- ered, organizations joined and the life long friend- ships made, life at Temple is an unforgettable experi- ence.
