Well I go to Temple sadly. They haven't even canceled classes for tomorrow. Honestly a little worried. But I have a test tomorrow thats kinda big. Think the prof would understand if kids didn't go to class for his test because of this? What should i do?

The pussy in me says to email your professor to take a make up test. It could be an empty threat but in the event that it isn't, it's way better to be safe than sorry. Whatever you decide to do, be safe tomorrow dude.

My school had a bomb threat my senior year. I can't remember if classes were cancelled, but I do remember going to campus anyway. The threat was for a specific building though. More vague threats would have me more worried. I'd email your professor. Chances are he/she probably doesn't want to come to campus either.

If I were you I wouldn't be on campus tomorrow, but my professors would know so I wouldn't get docked points.

Typically on College campuses you aren't allowed to bring a firearm. Just generally speaking.

I decided to leave the campus and stay at a friends house outside of town. My mother was very concerned and I started to get freaked out. Theres like helicopters flying around campus and the city so I figure better safe than sorry. Emailed all of my professors telling them I won't be in class due to the situation. Hopefully they are understanding, Ill keep everyone posted, and to anyone who may be in the City are be safe!

So did I, but you can't bring your firearm into a lecture hall or onto campus since your residence is considered private property and not in the University's hands.

My senior year there was a gun threat to my high school, apperntly from a kid I knew, and he never joked around. I didn't go to school that day.

I think it's always better safe then sorry ,especially after events like in Oregon. My friend's brother lived a floor down from a guy in Penn State that had a bomb in the floorboards, and its scary to think what could come of that.
