Temple University is one of the colleges I'm considering applying to. Is North Philly really as dangerous as it's reputation suggests? I've heard it can get pretty sketchy. Also, is Temple pretty liberal? I'm looking for friendly, laid back hippy/psychonaut types.
born and raised on a playground is where i spent most of my dayss chillin out maxin relaxin all cool and all shootin some b ball outside of the school
I'm only vaguely familiar with North Philly. But I got a couple really good stories about West Philly if you wanna hear one..
Parts of it can be pretty bad. Staying near campus is best. Lots of students have moved off campus-but you are surrounded by some pretty bad areas. Lots of students end up living in other parts of the city and taking public trans during the day. You have to be more careful there than in other parts of the city. Temple is like most colleges these days-big enough to find any group that you want to find.
I'll probably be staying on campus. As I have low vision, I probably won't be going far from campus. Wouldn't want to lose myself in philly.
When a couple of guys, they were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air". (Its west Philly, but who cares)
