Like many of the unofficial Temple-related Twitter accounts, @TUoverheard serves to both entertain and enlighten students. Nothing quite screams “Temple” like the dumbfounding statements you hear while walking on and around campus. Between the North Philly struggles, squirrels and harsh dating realities, I can promise you that people have a lot to say. I just can’t promise you that it will make any sense.

Because we can’t all make Dean’s List.
7. The Age Old Question
“Are temple cops real cops?”
— Overheard at Temple (@TUoverheard) September 6, 2013
Is this drinking citation a real drinking citation?
