When will my Meal Plan be active?
Beginning Wednesday, August 22nd at 11 am, meal plans will be active. For more details on the main campus Johnson & Hardwick Dining Center click here.
I’ve moved in what should I do now?
There are plenty of activities on campus that you can get involved in. First you can try getting to know some of the other residents in your residence hall or get acquainted with your new home. You can always ask your resident assistant or any Welcome Week volunteers for information about the specific activities taking place on campus. Take a stroll down Liacouras Walk or head over to Anderson and Gladfelter for a barbeque on the roof. There will be plenty of activities going on. Visit www.temple.edu/welcome or follow TUWELCOMEWEEK on twitter for schedules and updates.
I’m an international student and I’m not sure where to start.
The best place for you to start is with the Office of International Services. They will have activities that are catered specifically for international students, which aim to help you make a smooth transition to your new environment. You can also ask your resident assistant or any staff members in your building for assistance.
Where is the best place to go if I have a question?
All staff and volunteers are here to answer your questions. Whatever it is that you want to know they are the best people to go to and if they can’t answer your question, they will lead you to someone who can. All Welcome Week Volunteers will be wearing red shirts. Hoot Squad and your RAs are also here to assist you! Also check out the information desk in located in the Howard Gittis Student Center Atrium.
I don’t know my way around campus, how do I learn?
Campus maps are free at the information desk located in the Student Center atrium and are posted around campus. The Welcome Center is offering tours on Thursday, August 27th and Friday, August 28th at 10 am and 2 pm to help you find your way. On Sunday, August 30th, the Owl Ambassadors will "Help You Find Your Class". Take a copy of your roster to this event that leaves the Welcome Center at 6 pm, and go look for the buildings you’ll be taking classes in before the start of classes so you won’t get lost when you have to report to class.
I want to check out Philly, how do I get around?
Philadelphia has a very extensive public transportation system otherwise known as SEPTA. You can take the bus, ride on the Regional Rail, or hop on the subway to get from one place to the other. There are SEPTA maps located at the Information Desk in the student center that will help you get around. If you’re just looking to get around campus you can hop on the Owl Loop at 12th and Berks and tell the driver where you need to go. The service is free and operates from 5 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., Sunday through Saturday. Also if you want to go down to Center City you can use the Temple Shuttle to get down there for free.
