Templar Photo Archive Temple University is full of committed students who make the commute to Temple ' s campus everyday. With thousands of students traveling to campus daily, commuter students are highly visible in the lounges of the Student Center, the library and getting a bite to eat at the eateries between classes. The choice to live off campus is a major decision for most undergrads. The freedom that comes with living off campus provides a truly valuable and memorable experience.
