I'm a Biology Major/Chemistry minor adnthey have some of the best professors here. They really know what they're talking about and if you're interested and do some of your own snooping around you can find some geat opportunities for reasearch or shadowing professors in every major.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I'm not exactly homesick but I miss the quietness sometimes. I don't live in the country, but especially on campus college kids tend to be loud. I'm nota huge fan of the dorms myself but on campus actvities, clubs, organizations, and whatnot will keep you busy and there is ALWAYS something to do. I just wish they had a decent diner in the area, but the other food places are amazing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Especially being out of state I feel like I'm over-paying considering in-state is less than half of what I'm paying.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a tour and make sure you know what you want, especially for housing. As of Fall'10 they're finishing up a lot of construction on teaching buildings, but moving onto reconstructing a lot of the residence halls. Living on campus is always an option and tends to be cheaper, plus no RAs and there is a shuttle if you don't have a car.
Also, buy points. The meal plan is a scam unless you like/live close to a dining hall (Glen complex or Newell). It'll probably aid in keeping you from the freshman 15 too.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Towson is one of the top colleges for Accepting of Alternative Lifestyles (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) and most people are very accepting. I feel that races are very segregated though and its disappointing. Towson is also #1 friendly school for vegans and vegetarians. There are tons of food options, even for those who keep Kosher.
