TEMPLE UNIVERSITY JAMES E BEASLEY SCHOOL OF LAW


Next we traveled to the north side of the city and paid another outrageous $14 fee for parking. But it seems it ended up actually being far more worth it than our visit to Penn. We were continuously surprised by Temple. The campus was quite a bit larger than (at least I) expected. The law school was comprised of TWO separate buildings. Of course, we found the wrong building first, haha. So we kept going and found the admissions office. We explained that we were a day early and the Associate Dean of Admissions was more than happy to welcome us into her office and speak with her. She spoke well of her school and of her city, and her enthusiasm was certainly contagious. She had a spunky personality and was a pleasure to talk to. She told us everything we could have wanted to know and then some. She definitely made Temple stand out as  real possibility. We then continued to our self guided tour-- back to the original building we found! We saw their Moot Court, a few classrooms and their law library, and though it wasn't as high tech as most of the other schools we have seen so far, the prestige of the programs keeps the school towards the top of the list.

FUN FACTS:
- Temple is top 2 in Trial Advocacy Programs.
- Temple is top 10 in Legal Writing Programs.
- Temple is top 15 in International Programs. 
- The Broad Street Metro Station, which runs right to the city center, stops right at the Law School.
