Towson University is probably the most dangerous university in the United States. The department of defense has been running it's MK Ultra program there for the past 15 years. People disappear before graduation alot. I've seen people die at fraternity parties. Rape is very common. I was raped on multiple occasions. The campus police did nothing about it. They have known rapists and known murders living on campus. Yes, they actually have known serial killers living on campus. The campus police aren't reporting accurate numbers for campus crime. The campus looks safe but campus assaults, rapes and murders are ridiculous. The campus police can't or doesn't do much because most of the student abuse on campus comes from government and military agents. Every student that I knew on campus carried their own handgun. I witnessed rapes and assaults that happened right in the school cafeteria and the school library. The department of defense has been using fraternity and sorority members for military scientific experiments. Rape and sexual assault of fraternity and sorority pledges is quite often. I have seen things on that campus with my own eyes that you absolutely could not imagine. The dod had a lab built underneath the campus dorms for conducting experiments on students. Sometimes students disappeared in the middle of the night when government agents came looking for them. The dod have all of the dorm phones tapped. US military officers actually videotaped one kid masturbating in his dorm room and showed the video to everyone at a step show. Local town police and state troopers will not get involved with crimes on campus. Believe it or not, in one year the campus had over 100 student disappears but the dod wouldn't report it to the media. I saw people die on campus and law enforcement didn't arrest anyone.
I was an undergrad student for 4 years. I earned my Bachelors and I went back for graduate school. When I quit school I was 5 classes from my Masters degree. I know this school inside and out. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone now. Campus murders and rapes actually don't even get notice in the school newspaper. The school newspaper doesn't even really report what happens on campus. The school newspaper is edited by the campus president before it's allowed to be printed.
I was very lucky to survive, really. I've seen students die on that campus. It is really that dangerous on campus.

I graduated with my Bachelors from TU 10 years earlier. My undergrad years during the 90's were very enjoyable. The school was alot better then. I thought this would be a good choice for a grad school. However, the school has changed alot throughout the years. A new university president has changed the personality of the school. Students are treated as a number. Most professors simply go through their routine without real regard as to whether the students learn or not. The biggest problem of the school is the administration. They treat students like cattle. They treat individual students as nuassances. Fairness in administration has been replaced by office politics. The administration members don't give a damn about the success of the students. As far as career placement, you can almost forget about it. I checked out the career placement office and they referred me to Monster.com. After graduating from this school, you get this feeling of "what was that all about?", "what happened?"
The university isn't offering much to students socially on campus. There are some organization but not enough activities. Social life on campus is usually dull.
I liked that the university has a great library facilities with many computer hardware and software resources. However, most of the library's books are actually outdated. I like that the university had a great fitness center for many different physical activities. The university does have it's own post office, video rental and several dining facilities including a Starbucks.
It's a convient place to go to school but it doesn't offer enough academically, professionally, or even socially.
