So as i am sitting here reading all of this feedback from other students, i cannot help but get pissed off. Towson is an amazing enviornment. The people are friendly, and approachable, contrary to what others may post. If you enter campus with a negative attitude, people arent going to let you in. But if you paint a smile on your face, and put your best foot forward, low and behold you will have good experiences with other individuals. Im sure you have heard this a thousand times, but college is what you make of it. If you are constantly judging peoples motifs, and personalities, you are going to have a miserable time, no matter where you attend college. Towson specifically, though i have only been here about 2 months, has granted me with nothing but positive experiences. School work is easier than i expected, but i am taking general education classes, and i am not going to complain that i am not struggling academically. In terms of the night life, all of these people have no idea what they are talking about. I have made more friends here than i can even keep count of, and every night (monday through sunday) my phone is buzzing off the wall with invites to parties, bars that are offering specials, and just fun things to do with people that i have met here. I have YET to experience a dull moment at towson. There is so much opportunity to go out, and make crazy memories with your friends, and it makes me mad to see that people say the night life is "dull" because as far as I'm concerned, it is the COMPLETE opposite. If anything, i would say my friends and I have been having too much fun. Come Thursday on this campus, everyone is pumped up and ready to go out and have a great time. The surrounding area is full of bars, students partying and having fun, shopping, and great places to eat, tan, and just explore. Not to mention, the food on campus is great considering its coming from a dining hall, and the living conditions are impecable. I live in the new dorms where i have my own bathroom, and state of the art appliances, and accomadations. so here is my advice to fellow students who posted negative comments...Get out of your room, make some friends, and stop blaming this amazing place for your misery. I LOVE TOWSON!

Sadly, after my freshman year ended I transferred out of Towson. My first semester I was terribly unhappy at the school. I lived on campus. My classes were great. My teachers were extremely nice and helpful. The people I spoke with were nice.. but it was my own fault of not making a better first impression of the campus. College is definitely PARTIALLY what you make of it. Second semester rolled along and I made SOOOOOO many new friends and had plans to do things during almost every point in my day. I was really happy. My courses, again, were for the most part good. I had a great history professor- who was completely trashed on ratemyprofessors.com. A word to the wise, dont base your entire schedule off of the reviews on that site. Make your own opinions.
---- Anyway, after an awesome spring semester I am leaving Towson. This is mostly thanks to my first semester nerves. I had applied to other colleges and accepted admission to another school before I learned how awesome Towson really is. Just give it a chance. Parking is completely horrible, but people somehow manage. The campus isn't that attractive-- driving down Charles St. passing other colleges makes you sick because theyre so attractive! The food is okay, but its college, the food isnt suppose to be fantastic.
Good luck with your decision!

If you want a real picture in to the education you will get at Towson, go to the positive comments, look at their intelligence level and then count the spelling & grammatical errors. This will truly help you understand the education you will receive from TU.

I went to Towson because I was offered a full scholarship. I have learned that you get what you pay for. I cannot believe other students would actually pay for the "education" I recieved.
Towson is a great "Teacher's school," but we all know you don't really need to be that bright to teach a kindergarten class.
My alma mater's name has done nothing to help me in my career. The students there are just trying to get by. They don't really want to be there, their parents are making them go or they thought it would be fun to join a frat/sorority. No actual learning occurs. It is very much a white, rich kid school.
