Tyler Pre-College Programs offer on-campus residential arrangements through Temple University Housing for high school students attending our summer programs. Students must have completed their freshman year of high school in order to enroll in housing. Housing is available for students attending one, two or three sessions of our programs!
Staying on campus is often one of the most exciting components of the summer pre-college experience at Temple University! There are many opportunities for cultural, recreational, social and academic growth on the widespread, metropolitan Temple campus. Students will stay with high schoolers attending an array of Temple summer programs, giving them the chance to meet others with similar and differing backgrounds. Being a member of our community provides various opportunities for students to enhance their connection with Temple University and the city of Philadelphia. Residential students will participate in fun weekend activities and field trips to Philadelphia's renowned arts and culture institutions. Our programming model provides trips and activities targeted at building community, promoting academic success, wellness, and civic engagement opportunities.
Temple University Housing will have 24/7 chaperones and a program coordinator assigned specifically to the Temple Pre-College Summer Programs. Additionally, all of the students that choose the residential experience will stay in a dormitory building designated specifically for minors on-campus. For any questions about safety and emergency procedures for residents of Temple University Housing, please feel free to reach out to precollege@temple.edu.
Housing Fee:
$1,445 for two weeks (Sunday arrival and Friday departure)
$2,425 for four weeks (15% discount! Session II and III only)
The housing fees include space in a campus residence hall, most evening and weekend activities and field trips, transportation to these activities, and 24/7 supervision. The housing fee does NOT include the cost of meals, individual laundry expenses, or personal spending money ($50 per week recommended).
We recommend approximately $250 per student, per two-week period to cover the cost of food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Funds must be deposited as Diamond Dollars on each student's account prior to the start of the program. Diamond Dollars is Temple's campus-based debit card solution that eliminates the need to carry cash. All pre-college students who live in campus housing will receive an OwlCard, which will serve as your Temple ID and the debit card through which you can spend your Diamond Dollars on campus. When you enroll in housing, you will receive instructions on the online process to deposit Diamond Dollars onto your student account to cover the cost of your meals while living on campus.
