"To incoming students at Temple, spend your first semester here finding a balance between social and academic life that works for you. Enjoy your social life by stepping out of your comfort zone and meeting new people, while also prioritizing your academics and staying organized. Finding this balance from the beginning will set you up for success in your college journey!"

"As a Temple student, you have the opportunity to build connections with a diverse array of people here on campus. My advice is to embrace this chance by stepping out of your comfort zone, taking risks, and never hesitating to ask for help when needed. Your professors, peers, and the entire Temple community are here to support you, so don’t be afraid to reach out and make the most of your time here."
