Aside from considering whether they can withstand living in Johnson Hardwick, the students are told about the academic climate and the great sports teams. What they cannot bf told or shown is the social aspect of the university: How is campus nightlife? in essence, this aspect weighs as heavily on a prospective student ' s mind as a school ' s academic rankings. Fortunately, Temple has a lot to offer in that arena. On our campus, a party can be found almost every day of the week. From parties at the frat houses across from J H to the now notorious parties thrown in Kardon and University Village, a good time can be found by all. Even the Draught Horse has happy hour most days of the week and hosts nightly events at least twice a week. On those nights when you ' re looking for a more relaxed setting, many organizations host open mic spoken word nights at both the Owl Cove and the Student Center, so you don ' t have to go searching for a venue in the city. Also, many organizations host talent shows, band concerts and the like on many nights during the semester. And fortunately, we have the Liacouras Center right on Broad Street. Not only is it the venue for our men ' s and women ' s basketball games, but it is the location of many comedy shows, concerts, plays and art showcases. Photos bv: Brian Gili Inp ifewot fjyoiite[
