Philadelphia can easily be reached by train using AMTRAK. Get off at 30th Street Station and take either the SEPTA subway or the regional train. Taking the regional train has the advantage that you can directly reach the Temple University Main Campus train station.

Moore Station for the main campus. Please make sure that you take the 'Local' Broad Street Line and not the 'Express' Broad Street Line.

If you decide to travel by plane, you have a large selection of airlines considering that the International Airport at Philadelphia is a major hub airport for American Airlines. Information on ground transportation is available from here.
