Why Report Rent
Your rent is one of the biggest expenses you already pay. By reporting it, you turn those payments into a credit-building advantage that can raise your score, save you thousands, and open financial doors after graduation.
DMAX Club at Temple University is a student-led mental health–focused social club that creates a safe, caring space for students to openly share what is going on in their lives. By encouraging honest conversation, the club helps students feel less isolated and more supported by their peers as they navigate the emotional challenges and stresses of college. Open to all students—whether they are personally struggling, concerned about a friend, or simply care about mental health—DMAX Club’s mission is to eliminate stigma and promote safe, respectful dialogue about emotional pain and mental health issues in young people. In partnership with Temple’s Tuttleman Counseling Center, student leaders receive training in active listening, handling emergencies, and connecting students to appropriate professional resources. Leaders are specifically instructed not to provide therapy, but to refer peers to qualified experts when needed. The Counseling Center also serves as an ongoing resource for club leaders as they support the mental well-being of the DMAX community.
