Review of Towson University

from Waldorf, MD

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have just completed my first semester at Towson. Last semester I took 5 classes. I'm an art major so two of my classes are art classes. In the classes i took i honestly learned a lot. Each of my teachers went in depth in their courses and although i did have one very impatient teacher, the rest were happy to help with anything you didn't understand.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love Towson and am very happy I chose this. Before I enrolled i took a tour and i knew this was the school i wanted to attend. When walking around there are always people outside, unlike many other schools I've visited. The walk from my dorm to my classes isn't that bad and maybe takes 5 minutes at most. There is usually something to do every night and a lot of school programs are offered. There are a lot of clubs and I found it fairly easy to make friends. There are a lot of sororities and fraternities which is very popular here, but you don't have to be in one to have fun.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I pay in-state tuition and i think its a reasonable price price for the quality of education.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I would suggest taking a tour or visiting the campus before enrolling, that will really tell you if you belong. Also i would suggest going to the on campus events, at least for the first month. In September they have a month with things to do everyday. Freshman are given a carnival which is fun to go to for at least a little while. And although many freshman don't want to take part in the planned activities on their Dorm Floor i would suggest going. I had a lot of fun on my floor and is how i made my first friends.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

I think Towson's good for all types of students. They have activities and clubs for every type of person and everyone is given a fair chance to make friends.
