I've been exploring local universities and Temple University has come up. But I can't seem to find out if it's public or private. Can anybody clarify it for me?
Temple University is a public research university. As a state-related public university, it receives some funding from the state of Pennsylvania. This makes it different from a private university, which is primarily funded through private donations and tuition. Being a public university can have implications on the tuition rates, with in-state students often paying less than out-of-state students.
