Temple students know how to make the best of their college experiences by getting good grades and having fun as well. Students have many places around campus to study such as the Paley Library, the TECH center and the Student Center. Other students prefer to study in their residence hall rooms, lounges or simply pick a nice spot on the grass outside to study. Freshman Kate Tinney said she loves to study in the library because it's quiet and I can concentrate. Outsiders can always tell when exam time has approached because the library and TECH center are overly crowded with students. When students receive good grades in their classes, they feel a sense of accomplishment. That feeling continues to motivate them to study hard, regardless of where or how they go about doing it. - Christina Desanto TIME TO TYPE Brittany Draxler finds a quiet place in the library to work on her laptop. - STAYING ON POINT Andrew Kokinda and Sara McGurk take advantage of a break-out room in the Tech Center to work on a PowerPoint presentation.

And the Honorable Mention Goes To... The Honors Program at Temple University brings together a group of highly intellectual students that simply love to learn. These students do not just represent one group at Temple; the Honors Program includes students from every major. Students can chose to live in the Honors Wing and truly get to know the other Honors students. By living and learning together, students learn to understand each other's backgrounds. There is an Honors Activity Board which organizes activities such as an Oreo stacking contest, trips to New York and movie nights. These fun social events help the Honors students have a little bit of fun after their classes. Being in the Honors program has many benefits such as smaller classes, personal advising sessions and a tight-knit community. - Christina Desanto Sophomore Michael Donovan relaxes in his room while he finishes his class work.
