Located in suburban Montgomery County, just 18 miles north of the Main Campus (and minutes from Route 309 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike), Ambler offers the coziness of a small college campus with the excitement and vast resources of a large University. Ambler attracts students who live or work north of Philadelphia, including those from Bucks, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Northampton Counties. The Commuters and residents enjoy Ambler's stunning grounds, student organizations and activities, and recreational facilities that include an exercise/weight room, indoor/outdoor pool, sand volleyball pit, and tennis and basketball courts. The campus is also home to Temple University's baseball, softball, and men's and women's soccer teams.
