Temple University

[OnceAndFutureGrad]

Hi all, I have been admitted for a PhD in Art History from Tyler School of Art at Temple University. Hooray! I look forward to meeting other Temple grads. I currently live about an hour and a half from Philadelphia, and I have friends there, so I am somewhat familiar but not very knowledgeable about the city. I plan on renting a room in Fishtown, so let me know if you are interested in sharing an apartment, know someone looking for a renter, etc.

where's fishtown? lol! If I get into temple's art history that would be a dream.

Fishtown is located about a mile east of Temple in eastern Philadelphia. It's a pleasant though somewhat cramped working class neighborhood that's experienced something of a revival in the past few years. There are a number of incredible bars and shops there. My friends in Port Richmond nearby always come into Fishtown for fun. It looks like a good room can be found there for $400-500 a month.

You might want to swing by the Philadelphia, PA thread.

Yeah, I've been watching it, but no one has posted there in like a month so I figured I'd give this a shot instead

Anything you're interested in particular? I'm an undergrad here, so if you have any general questions/concerns, I might be able to help.

how big are intro level history (or humanities in general) classes?

I'm coming to Temple in the fall for my PhD in social psych!

I'd say its pretty good. Temple's revamped course search is usually up to date, so you can rely on the information there.
