Def consider sending him to Temple! I’m a current student and happy here. It’s a great school with such a wide array of strong programs, school pride, and strong alumni outcomes. Keep in mind, ALL of these crimes are occuring in the off-campus neighborhood. When your kid is a freshman, he’ll probably live in a dorm, which are all highly secure and on-campus, so he’ll be fine. After that, he’ll have plenty of options for safe housing both on-campus and in better areas than Templetown. If you’re local, he can commute, which many at Temple do and is an even safer option. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions!!
