Additional reviews of academics:

HORRIBLE school. If you want to be completely ignored by your professors, and treated as if you are of no value to anyone, then this school is certainly the perfect one for you. The Temple College of Science and Technology offers very few classes that contain less than 100-150 students. Prepare to be a number.
The science professors bring the grade down because their overall performance is weak and unprofessional.
Great School
Great, but tough school! Hard to control the urge to party..
I came to this school because of its program. They, the administrators, are trying to add onto the already strong program, and making it worse. I have been in better prepared community college classes, and with professors that make more sense in their grading.
GOOD BUILDINGS
Offer great foreign university studies
The professors in the science department are not that great at teaching. They always either seem to dumb it down too much or don't explain enough. But then again I've only had two calc professors and 1 physics professor so far in CST so I can only judge it on those 3 professors

Additional reviews of students:

You should definitely know someone in the school at the time you start if you want to make a reasonable amount of friends. The students body is soooo large and contains so many commuters that no one has interest in making new, additional friends. It has a diverse student body, but consequently is very divided according to race, ethnicity, and nationality. Overall, students are not too friendly.
APPROACHABLE, FRIENDLY, SUPER DIVERSE
Wide variety, but for the most part they can be dealt with pretty easily. mostly friendly, unless drunk.
open minded
Diverse.
you make friends right away
Hard-working students that often put themselves through school.
WONDERFUL PEOPLE
dedicated
Everyone is so nice.
loud
Very diverse and open-minded

Additional reviews of faculty:

The faculty is very used to having no clue who each student is within their own class, so they try very little to get to know you. If you have difficulties with the class, they refer you to the tutoring centers rather than offering help. They are over-worked, over-tired, and uninvolved.
MIXED
Teachers are very snooty.
helpful
Too Busy for students
Overall very good.
good to talk to
Out of the 20-something teachers I have had, I disliked one.
some professors are really cool and others are not
Three out of my five professors of semester fall 08, were completely ignorant and unwilling to hear out students, and were selfishly proud of what they have already done, and we should lead our lives exactly like them. My suggestion, is really try and find out what the teaching style of the professor is before you take their class.
NICE ADULTS
Great communication for all the questions I need answered to complete application processing
Very intelligent and some of the best in the field
