Some students say they’re anxious about the crime near campus, as an uptick in robberies is seen.

Temple University confirms that two of the victims are Temple students. The suspects are three males in their 20’s. They took off with wallets and a cell phone, according to police.

Van Veen adds, "It’s my third year here and, at least once a week, I’ll hear on my phone, ‘Shooting on health campus’ or ‘armed robbery somewhere.’" Annemarie Basilica says, "We typically don’t go out at night. I’m on edge all the time when I’m walking around, even if I’m going to the grocery store."

You should be nervous. You should have never chose Killadelphia to go to school. It’s just too dangerous.

These kids could go anywhere. Why would parents allow their children to attend this school. It is in NORTH PHILLY and nothing good EVER happens there

I don't go to the AMC theater there anymore. Which sucks bc its a 8 min walk for me. So close and so much time to go see good movies but I'm terried. Even during the day.

Um, its North Philly

How's that working out? 😂

Who’s doing the robberies? The white supremacists.

Isn't that what they voted for?

Let's poll the students to see how they vote. I bet you they overwhelmingly vote for crime. Also, don't go to Temple. It's in a shithole area in a shithole city.

Once all the tuition payments stop they will fix it real quick.

these are the same stories happening at the same frequencies as the past 2 years. you just keep trotting out the same stories as people being worried. i believe the last article written about this was parents hiring private security to patrol north philly lol

What do you mean? I’m sure they all wanted less of a police presence You reap what you sow. Yes some cops are bad but that doesn’t mean we need to defund entire departments and let criminals run rampant.

Concerned about crime? AOC says you must be a racist!

I’m sure they all voted Democrat, be careful what you wish for!!!

Have my degree there....I want to drink at Maxi's.....(where I was at before a few finals)......BUT dont wanna get shot....sucks

I have no idea how any parent can send their kid off to Temple? It's a complete war zone in and around campus.

White Temple kids are a quick and easy target.

Arm them or move the school, or call in the National guard. Local politicians and “leaders” don’t give a damn they’re too busy being corrupt.

The thugs run this city, they know who to target. Target the kids from the county cause they won't fight back

While simply going to class temple students must 'ride, hide, and fight'

Thank you for keep us informed always we depend on you

The school is in the middle of a ghetto in a city run but the politics the majority of students support. They chose to go there they can live with it
