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.
The Open Mic Society (OMS) at Temple University is a creative collective dedicated to uplifting “hidden creatives” and promoting performing and visual arts on campus. We provide a space where students can balance their artistic passions with the demands of college life, emphasizing self-expression, community service, and improving quality of life through creativity. OMS hosts a variety of events including Open Mics, Art Galleries, Workshops, Discussions, Fashion Shows, Creative Vendor Expos/Markets, Performances, and Fundraisers. Open Mics feature singing, dancing, poetry, acting, and performance art, while galleries and workshops highlight mixed media, painting, photography, sewing, pattern making, costume design, choral practices, expressive dance, and more. Profits from paid events support community service initiatives, future meetings, and donations to selected organizations. Membership (open to registered Temple students who pay $15 dues) guarantees performance opportunities and encourages active involvement, service, and artistic growth within a supportive community.
