Health Sciences Campus Though it is only three short subway stops from Temple University’s Main Campus, many students forget about the Health Sciences Campus. Just up Broad Street, from Alleghany Avenue up to Tioga street, many professional programs including the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, the Maurice 11. Kornbcrg School of Dentistry, the School of Pharmacy, the College of Health Professions, and Temple University Hospital offer classes and resources for students at the Health Sciences Campus. Many of the programs offered at the campus are for graduate students. Because of this, many of the graduate students do not have to live around Temple University Main Campus. Some of these students choose to live in different locations around the city of Philadelphia such as South Philadelphia, Fairmount and Spring Garden, and commute to their classes at HSG. One of the few undergraduate programs that is required to attend classes at both main campus and Health Sciences is the nursing program. Michelle Devancy, a sophomore nursing student, takes the subway even- Friday morning to the Health Sciences Campus to attend her health assessment lecture and lab. “Traveling to HSC is actually not that inconvenient. 1 love to get a break from main campus and be able to use the ad vanccd resources they provide in order to better my nursing education,” Devancy said. Like main campus, the Health Sciences Campus has many unique places to explore and to grab something to eat. Plat es that accept Diamond Dollars include Einstein Bagels, Greens to Go, and Koffce 1 louse in the Medical School, as well as, Starbucks, City View Pizza, and the Hospital Cafeteria. Conveniently, there is also a Subway, Philly Soft Pretzel Fat tory, Dunkin Donuts, and Rite Aid across from the Dental School on Broad Street. Another inexpensive, quick option for food includes the very popular food trucks that line Broad Street. Whether

students arc craving tacos, soup, chccscsteaks, salads, or fruit, there are many food trucks to choose from. “1 see so many doctors, nurses, and Temple students grabbing their lunch for the day,” Devancy says. “It’s a very convenient and delicious option for many health professionals and students, rather than eating the hospital cafeteria every day.” Not only docs Temple University’s Health Sciences Campus have many dining options but it also has many other resources for students to use in their free time. The Lewis Katz School of Medicine has a library, which allows students to get studying done in between or after classes. “My other nursing friends and I love to run to Dunkin’ Donuts after class and then go to the med school library to study,” Devancy said, “It’s a very different environment from die library at Main Campus and a lot less crowded and quieter.” Along with the library, there is also a gym available for students, staff, and faculty in the Student Faculty Center. The recreation center includes, a weight room, cardio room, basketball and racquctball courts, and a dance studio. Students can also get involved by participating in intramural sports and group fitness classes. “I have not gotten a chance to go to the recreation center at I ISC yet, but hopefully I can in the future,” Devancy says, “It seems like such a nice resource to have available to students and faculty. It allows them to relieve stress by working out and staying active, despite their difficult cur-riculums.” Another sophomore nursing student, Ellic Anders, says, “I love the location of Health Science being so close to the hospital. The buildings arc updated and beautiful, especially the library. Also, I love being surrounded by other health professionals up there too because it is very motivating and show's us where we will be going.” WRITTEN BY EMILY PINZKA PHOTOGRAPHED BY NATE HARVEY
