Learning Communities
What students are saying?"There were many advantages of the program. I was able to meet a lot of new people, which allowed me to make new friends and form a 'network' of students I could call when I had a question about the day's class." "The Learning Communities: build friendships, offer small classes, assist you with your registration, sponsor excellent speakers, and provide the opportunity to learn about all of the services that Temple has to offer." "At the beginning of the year, I was in a situation where I had to take public transportation to get to Temple University. However, through Learning Communities I met someone I became friendly with and he offered to drive me to school. This helped me save money." "Learning Communities make the transition from high school to college a whole lot easier." "I am doing so much better than I expected to. My last years in high school weren't so great, but now I am getting really good grades because my learning community connects me with all my teachers." "One of the priorities of the Learning Communities program is that, whenever possible, they try to arrange for full professors to teach the courses, whether it is a 150-person lecture in Geology or an English course with 20 students. This is a tremendous benefit for a student, ensuring them of the absolute best teaching available and allowing them to develop a relationship with a teacher with whom they may be working for the rest of their time at Temple." "I wasn't afraid to ask questions in class or to approach professors or students in my learning communities classes. Everything was so open and friendly."
