If you’re visiting, just plug 1801 N Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA into your GPS. Or better yet, take Amtrak to 30th Street Station, hop on the Broad Street Line subway, and ride north for 10 minutes. You’ll see the campus rise up like a brick-and-glass mirage.
And if you’re a football fan? The Lincoln Financial Field (where the Eagles play) is about 3 miles south—Temple’s football team plays there too. So you can literally tailgate before a game with the same crowd that’s studying for an organic chemistry exam. Weird? Yes. Awesome? Also yes.
One Last Thing Before You Go
I know “Where is Temple?” feels like a silly question, but honestly, it’s the right question to ask. Because where a school is located shapes everything—your social life, your rent, your commute, your tan lines (or lack thereof, in cloudy Philly). Temple is in a city that’s brash, historical, and a little underrated—like a gritty old sneaker you refuse to throw away.
So next time someone asks, just tell them: It’s in Philadelphia, baby. Then hand them a soft pretzel and watch them say, “Wait, is this from a street cart?” And you’ll just smile, because that’s the point. Temple doesn’t hide; it shows up—loud and proud, right on Broad Street.
