Quote from: Gator37 on April 23, 2007, 01:09:25 PMHas anyone noticed that the Temple law school website and viewbooks are not nearly as impressive as some from much less respected schools (i.e. "third tier")? And, it's not just the appearance -- it's also relatively hard to find information on the Temple website; and the viewbooks are pretty thin and lacking in detail. It can be hard to overlook these weaknesses and seek out the hard facts that really matter. Do you think these "marketing" issues help explain why Temple's "conversion" rate is relatively low? (The percentage of admitted students who actually enroll is lower than most schools I've considered.)As far as the aesthetics of the website and viewbooks... Do you think there's any relationship to the very, very plain appearance of the facilities? Is this a Philadelphia thing? Is style just less important in Philly? Of course, since I like Temple and plan to attend, I like to think these factors are weeding out people who are too easily influenced by those things, thereby resulting in a better, smarter student body. You should see Seton Hall's correspondence. They don't even have brochures (I haven't received any yet anyway) and the only thing they've sent me other than a letter or payment form has been an extremely basic Excel printout of the 1l calendar. Here, look at their website. (http://law.shu.edu/). Anyway, I'll most likely be attending TU as well. I'm WL at American and, since my interest is int'l, I'll go there if I finally get accepted. However, if I don't I'm still fired up about TU. Anybody, in here from CO or KS or GA? I'm from GA went to college in CO and currently reside in KS.

Born and raised in the KC area (Lenexa) and went to undergraduate at KU. Lived in Oregon for a few years after that and now I'm in New Mexico. What are you doing in KS?

What are you doing in KS? Right now... slacking at work No, I'm working as a web developer at a small telecom firm in OP. The company actually just moved to their current location from Lenexa. Are you as die hard about the Chiefs as everyone else here? I mean holy cow! I came here from Denver and wore a Broncos shirt to a Chiefs game. It was a bad mistake.I've been here for about 3 years now and met some people. Did you know anybody from Blue Valley Northwest HS?
I like the Chiefs, but i'm certainly no die-hard fan. My dad used to have season tickets so I went to every game in the 90's. They've let me down so many times it's hard to take them serious anymore. I'm a bigger Royals fan because I know they are going to suck every year so they never let me down. I know quite a few people from BVNW, but most of the folks I know graduated between 1998-2000 and only a couple of them still live in the area. Some things you need to do before you move from the KC area (assuming you haven't already done them):1. Oklahoma Joes BBQ (the original location on Mission)2. Arthur Bryants BBQ (the original location on Brooklyn Ave.)3. Gates BBQ (preferably the Main location)4. Great Lenexa BBQ Battle (June 22-24 & be sure to go on Friday when they give out samples)That's about it. If you're going to Temple we can hang out in Philly and I'll smoke up a few slabs of ribs. Man...I miss barbecue.
Any younger people going to Temple??
