is Bouvier st safe ?
How's the 1800 block of N. Bouvier St? + Advice for a Temple transfer?
Hey everyone,
I'm transferring to Temple this fall, and I'm not from Philly, so I'm trying to get a better idea of what the area is like before I sign a lease.
I'm looking at a place on the 1800 block of N. Bouvier St. Does anyone have any experience with that block? Is it generally safe, and would you feel comfortable walking to and from campus during the day or at night?
I'd also appreciate any advice about living off campus around Temple. Since I'm new to Philly, I'd love to hear:
- Any streets or areas you'd avoid
- Things to watch out for when renting
- General safety tips
- Anything you wish you had known before moving off campus
I'm just trying to make the best decision before signing a lease. Thanks in advance—I really appreciate any advice!
