Reply to comment by hannahmckayx in Temple holds safety town hall after student attacked near campus by redeyeblink

Absolutely do not let your kid go to Temple. I graduated in 2018 and my experience at Temple was completely traumatizing. The same can be said for a lot of other students and alumni at this point. I wish I had gone literally anywhere else.

interesting, I went there and don't know anyone who would say their experience was traumatizing

I actually loved temple. The general lawlessness of the hood is something special. In my 5 years of year round living there, I was robbed at gun point once and my house was burglarized once, also tons of fights, but overall unscathed. I'd never send my kids there though, way too sketchy.

How was it traumatizing? I’ve met some very, very sheltered/skittish people at TU but idt any of them would describe it as traumatizing outside of personal reasons

Absolutely was not a skittish or sheltered person prior to enrollment, graduated with PTSD thanks to getting robbed at gunpoint, being attacked by a group of teens and watching my friend get stabbed to death. Best part about the stabbing was how Temple buried the story and deleted it from their website after confirming that he wasn't a student.
