Loved temple Rome

Submitted by Anonymous - - | July 10, 2017

Temple Rome was one of the best experiences that I've ever had. The faculty and staff were great and the opportunities given to students academically and culturally were plenty. Many classes were unique in that they were taught by Italian professors and/or were on-site in the city. There were also events where we were exposed to the Italian culture and lifestyle, creating a highly immersive and educational experience overall.

Academic Year Fall 14'/ Spring 15'

Submitted by Jennifer Hayes - Temple University | April 18, 2016

I am a Temple Main Campus student that studied abroad at TUJ for an academic year, from Fall of 2014 to Spring 2015. The TUJ program provides such a life changing and immersive experience. The staff offers great support to all incoming students and are more than willing to help them throughout the program. My time abroad was such an amazing experience. I was able to learn so much about the Japanese culture and myself. Once abroad though you are given numerous outlets for help, it is truly an experience to learn about yourself and becoming independent. TUJ is a great school to be at while in Japan. It is on the smaller scale so you have more one-on-one time with professors, staff and students. Because it is smaller you also form friendships easily and quickly with native Japanese students or others studying abroad. The school is located a train ride and even walking distance from major shopping and eating districts. Tokyo is full of spectacular places to shop and eat and just sight see. You always find things to do and discover sights just by walking around. TUJ also offers numerous activities throughout the year. Activities that I participated in involved a traditional tea ceremony, skiing in Nagano, visiting historic castles, an overnight trip on a nearby island and an overnight visit in a mountain side onsen. During my time there I also had the chance to visit Okinawa and South Korea with friends, and participated in an Internship. Overall TUJ is a great program that offers great opportunities to students and unforgettable experiences.

6-Week Study Abroad in Paris

Submitted by Casey Wright - Temple University | April 14, 2016

The 6-week study abroad program in Paris was an experience I will never forget. The courses are taught by native French speakers, but are designed for people who are learning French as a second language. This makes the language accessible and teaches a lot of authentic French culture as well. There are three different options for housing accommodations and meals, so you'll have the freedom to decide what works best for you. I chose to stay in the Foyer because it is the least expensive, but it ended up being the best option for me because staying there made it easier to make friends with everyone in the program. Monday through Friday, you have the freedom to do anything you want after your classes. This is a great time to explore Paris with friends. Then, on Saturdays there are organized excursions which take you to cities outside of Paris. These excursions are included in the cost of tuition, and they are really interesting. What I like about the program is that you can really make the experience what you want it to be. It was a great experience, and I learned so much from it. By the end of the trip, people even started asking me if I was French because they couldn't hear my American accent anymore!

The Beauty of Rome through Temple!

Submitted by Bonez - Temple University | February 06, 2016

Not much can compare to casually taking a stroll through the neighborhood, only to stumble upon some ruin that dates back thousands of years. And I have Temple to thank for such an experience. The beauty of Rome is unparalleled, and because of Temple Rome's awesome faculty and resources, I was able to experience it to the fullest. The only gripe I had was with the residence facilities in which we stayed (Fall 2015), but Temple had already solidified plans for relocation when I was preparing to return home.

Japan Summer 2015

Submitted by Michelle - Temple University | February 03, 2016

Over the past Summer, I studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan. It was a great experience to meet new friends and become more independent. Japan is so different compared to the U.S and I learned so much about the culture. After the trip, I realized I can do so much in my lifetime and going to Japan makes me more confident to travel around the world. Japan is very unique and there's so much to explore in only a summer. It definitely should be on someones bucket list for the future.
