It’s college decision season and high school seniors are narrowing down the school that’s the best fit for them.

We decided to help the incoming Class of 2028 with 28-plus reasons why current students chose the Fox School of Business and Temple University.

Whether they are first year students or getting ready to graduate, here’s what they had to say…

1. In my college research, I specifically looked at schools with great business technology programs. The Fox School was one of those schools. Four years later, I could not be happier with my decision.

2. Temple’s cost in comparison to competing universities was more appealing and feasible for me and my family, which helped solidify my decision. After almost two years, I can confidently say I made the right choice.

4. The Fox School has an amazing honors curriculum. I like how the classes are more discussion oriented compared to lectures.

6. The Fox School is a well-known and reputable business school—and the Fox Honors program is great.

7. I chose Temple and the Fox School because of the Army ROTC program. Many great military leaders have gone through Temple's Army ROTC program.

8. As I look forward to graduation, I know I have the Fox School to thank for giving me some of my closest friends and fondest memories.
