It offers music majors the opportunity to study under the guidance of highly experienced and world renowned professors. The music school also offers a wide range of classes from beginning instrument lessons to advanced study of music theory. The students there live and breathe music. You can find students not only practicing, but also eating and sleeping in the lounges of Presser and Rock Halls. This is true sign of devotion to the music department. The work pays off though, throughout the year the music school plays a large number of performances. They have a show to fit every ones taste, from percussion ensembles to solo pianists. Besides having highly educated music instructors, students can also take advantage of all the musical aspects the city of Philadelphia has to offer, from the Philharmonic Orchestra to the late night jazz bars. Each music student has room to develop his or her unique style at Temple. -SaraShuman to miwc I

- Vkn Some Temple (R commuters use alternative modes of transportation to get to their classes on Main Campus. Photo by: SabnnaPang KP1 Watch out, or you might get run over. Every minutes counts for these Temple commuters trying to get to class on time . Temple commuters have more than one reason for living off campus, ranging from not sharing a room, smoking wherever and whenever, and the living expenses being cheaper. Although they may have to find other means of transportation to get to their classes on time, most commuter students do not mind. Commuters use public transportation, SEPTA, drive their own car or ride to school on Temple shuttles. On average, most students claimed they only spent between fifty and eighty dollars on transportation a month and an additional twenty to thirty dollars on food. Although, bad weather deters a commuter student from going to school or arriving there on time, it is just a small price to pay for having your own space. - Martine Waters Temple Students wait for the train at the SEPTA Temple University railway station on Berks St. OdtfKf Photo by: Sabnna Pang Temple commuter students pour out of the north bound side of the Cecil B. Moore (Temple University) SEPTA subways station to make the morning class rush. Pictured in the center of the crowd, junior Brian White said. Although commuting made me feel like I was in high school again, it gives me two hours a day to read the paper or get some extra sleep. commmitu ' life 9
