Towson University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the location. There are constant updates from police about off campus armed robberies, stabbings, vandalism, ect. which causes for it to be very frightening to leave campus especially alone to get to work.

The majority of the academic advisors are pretty useless. Most of my friends agree, that their advisors don't help them at all. Mainly I just use mine to take the holds off of my classes so I can register for the next semester. One other thing that disappoints me about my school is the lack of communication and cooperation between the educational departments. Each one has a lot to offer towards the other such as the Film, Theater and Art Departments. There seems to be a barrier between them.

The school has too large of a campus and too many people. I feel like I am always getting lost and taking detours around construction. I do not know where anything is except for the couple building that house my classes.

The worst thing about my school is the smoking rules. There are designated areas for smoking directly outside the buildings. This causes smoke to go inside the buildings where people eat. It's also disturbing walking through clouds of cigarette smoke on the way to class.

I would have to say that the worst thing about my school is the distance i have to travel. Although, i can see that they are already trying to solve that problem by offering some Towson classes at Harford Community College, they're just not the classes that i need for my degree.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the parking. Everything about the parking is horrible. Parking passes are expensive, you can never get out of the parking garage, and it is completely over-crowded. I have had to park at the mall down the street and walk almost a mile and a half to school because of parking and this semester I can not even afford the pass so I will most likely be doing this everyday.

Parking, advising, and expensive food. It is difficult to find a decent parking space during the school day, and teh campus is really strict about parking tickets. A $75 ticket for a first time offense. The advising is not up to par. I know of many students who must stay an extra semester/year, due to bad advising. And the food is expensive.

I haven't yet attended Towson University, but I have been accepted and will be in the Spring. Therefore, I do not know about the worst thing about Towson. Currently though, I attend the Community College of Baltimore County and the worst thing about that school is that most students don't take it too seriously because it is simply a community college. Also, professors seem to treat it the same and it feels more like I am back in high school.

It is difficult for me to complain about Towson because my experience there was excellent. However, after some thought, I came up with a complaint. The worst thing about Towson University is the way the campus is built on a hill and how it slopes steeply from Cook Library, at the top of the hill, to the Athletic Center, at the bottom of the hill. Sometimes it could be a difficult haul after class when leaving the Athletic Center with a heavy backpack full of books and hike up to the humanities department, located next to the library.

I see nothing bad about my school at all. It is a really great school, in my opinion, and I never want to leave it, not even for the holidays. I love Towson University, and I'm glad I'm in it.
