On-Campus kill H[.| JB| glM|| ' n Ask most Temple students where the most ' popular hangout spot is on campus, and the response is unanimous: the Student Center! Rain or shine, bitter cold or springtime warm, groups of students can be seen standing in ront of the Student Center at any time of the day. Inside, the amount of people seems to exceed the allotted amount of people allowed by law. Their purpose: not to m.i gg|- fQQ(j byf [Q sgg p(j 5g seen. This is what makes the place a campus favorite. ' Iwen places like 7-Eleven and the Draught Horse serve as social venues acting under ■ ' ■mu the guisg of simply offering food. However, campus favorites don ' t stop there. Here are a few others that make the cut: [Favorite food truck: (Above) Tlie Creperie: the concept of putting any dnd of food in a pancake is outstanding. - ' avorite place to see band showcases and open mic nights: the Owl Cove at Witten Hall Favorite class at the IBC: (Left) Kardio Kick Favorite place to get a nap: the third floor of the Student Center Favorite place to get a nap: the third floor of the Student Center Favorite place to get a tan: the lawn in front of Beury Hall Favorite place to read: the Bell Tower and Founder ' s Garden Favorite place to eat: J H Cafe: can we l.iacouras Wall is always filled with students visiting any on of its man ' stores includin; 7-Eleven. 6 a a £» X S Q III a m 3 a 9 la 6 6 e z a u a r» j Ul 3 9 Ul n 6 ■ e —.1 r ■ U Q Ul a § s 6 a a s» £» 5 VI a III 3 a ? ? 6 6 X s z a a 3 sr a 3 sr o la 6 a e M ! e ! ; S s S a III a III a a (a a 6 6 a a S sr s sr Q a f 1 i i e a c a S 9 Loail F.n ' oi ' itcs £ 1 R

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[

What did they say? Being a part of Temple University ' s large network of campuses ranging from Philadelphia to Tokyo, stude- nts have the daunting task of distinguishing themselves from a arge student body. A student ' s ife at Temple is not simply about academics. Although this is a large part of the college experi- ence here at Temple, there is also a large focus put on hands-on real world experience and advice. Your law professor may tell you to skip chapters because when he attended Law school, learning to file a good complaint made all the difference. Or in physics class, the professor may not feel the sidebar illustrati- ons in your textbook were really doing the trick, so the 200-student lecture will turn into a labrotory of scientists leading their own experiments. However, a college student ' s life would not be complete without being a part of some social scene. Whether your scene is diving into different student organizations on campus or hitting the streets of Philadelphia to find your own fun, every student will grow and learn during their years in college. And as the students ' lorizons expand, each student creates a different element that makes Temple University the evolving and diverse campus that it is.
