Technically there are no wild animals running around the school, unless you can catch a lost cockroach or two. This is not to dog on Temple. Every building in the city has cockroaches in it, that is just part of life. The cool trick is to see if you can actually spot one.
I have never seen one alive, but I did manage to snap a picture of a dead one. I found this guy in the hallway. I think he ran through some bug spray and his adventure through the dental school didn’t last too long. I bet he never thought he would become immortalized on DMDstudent.com though.
Some of my classmates have seen some scurrying through the hallways, and one claims to have seen a rat crossing an empty hallway in the distance, but I won’t believe that one until I see it. As long as they stay away from my food and my back pack, I’ll be fine. I wouldn’t want to bring any hitchhikers home!

HAH, don’t worry, Temple is definitely not the only school with roaches. I have killed 2 this year in the pre-clinic on weekends.
The 329 bur has more than one use….
I kid I kid…or do I?
Good luck in the clinics!

A friend at school told me: “I don’t know what is more disgusting, the cockroach or your sneaker!”
I would have to agree with her. What else can you do with a fixed income? LOL
