When entering Temple the freshman year on top of getting the normal meal plan I highly recommend getting Diamond dollars. Diamond dollars are loaded onto your student ID (which you cant go anywhere without) and is easy to use at many locations on campus.

Diamond dollars are a great way to buy snacks in between classes, ordering food and booze at the draft horse, quoda, starbucks, etc. Many food trucks also take Diamond dollars when you don’t have cash, or want to spend your parent’s money.

Some of the best places to get food in between classes are for breakfast are the Bagel Hut, and Pretzel stands located in most buildings or in front of the library. On weekends, the best breakfast is in Johnson and Hardwick with make your own waffles and omelet stations.

If you love fast food Temple’s campus and surrounding areas are great. On campus you have Taco Bell, Burger King and Wendy’s. If McDonald’s is more up your alley you have to walk 2 blocks for it, across from White Hall.

If fried chicken is your calling you have your option of Lincoln fried chicken or Crown fried chicken.

So, the freshman 15 is inevitable, but there is a nice gym on campus, which is free… So make the trip to the gym for some classes, running on the indoor track, or lifting weights.

Enjoy

To go along with the many options Temple Dining Services offers, there are many different meal plans to choose from as well. While freshmen are required to have a meal plan, unless they live in a dorm with apartments, most students say stick with the smaller meal plans - the big ones are a waste. Students can choose from a Super Value meal plan, designed specifically for under-classmen living on-campus.
