My son is a soph @ Tyler and LOVES it! We were concerned about safety in Philly but that hasn’t been an issue at all. It’s actually a fairly safe campus and the art school is contained within one large relatively new building. Charles is majoring in Graphic & Interactive Design. There are animation classes available to him but I don’t think there’s an actual animation major. He wanted a university environment so he could meet students (I almost called them ‘kids’) who are not art students. He has 5 apt-mates - none are art students. They are several orchestras that are open to non-music majors, as well as playing opportunities for theater productions, etc. Unfortunately his schedule hasn’t allowed him enough time to take part in much outside of his school work. The university requires all students to complete a number of general ed requirements. Depending on the major it may be difficult to do a major & minor within 4 years but not impossible. Temple also has a great study abroad program which scholarship $$ can be used for.
