Temple students chose Temple University for their own specific reasons. Some came for the glitz, glamour and hustle and bustle of the city. Others chose Temple because of its diverse population and mind opening experience. Then there are the students who came strictly for academics. Those students made a very wise decision because Temple has so much to offer in the academic realm. Temple University presents a plethora of academic programs and support services to feed students with an insatiable academic hunger. With the choice of 16 different schools and colleges exhibiting a multitude of majors, international programs offering worldwide study and libraries out the whazoo there is no reason for any student to be stuck at an academic standstill at Temple University. . -Toya Sewell-Hall A ' jdcmic o j xii mg; ij

We get an A on a pop quiz and, all of a sudden, think we know more than the author of the textbook. Unfortunately, this becomes routine behavior. History has a tendency of repeating itself time and time again, and we fall into this vicious cycle of putting off studying to enjoy college nightlife. Though studying is not every student ' s favorite pastime, it must be done in order to reap the benefits of a solid education. To achieve a solid education Temple students find various places to study around main campus. For those who believe silence is golden, Paley library is the best place to go. For those who want to study and be social at the same time, the Tuttleman Learning Center is open most days for 24 hours. Both hold well over 100 computers and have extended hours during Finals Week. If the thought of going to the library scares you, Anderson Hall, Annenberg Hall and Speakman Hall give students access to computer labs. If you live on campus and don ' t feel like leaving your dorm, each residence hall has study lounges. And for the die-hard romantics looking to study with their significant other, the Bell Tower or Founder ' s Garden are favorable spots. Whatever you do, don ' t procrastinate and get stuck cramming during Finals Week, pulling all-nighters. -Megan Smith On the 3 rd floor of SAC many students, including Katy Damici, find a nice, quiet and selcuded place to study.
