Towson University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Towson University? Why?

Diana

some teachers are horrible

Victoria

Don't really know how to get involved. I thought it was hard to make friends and go to different campus functions because you never know about them.

Natasha

The worst part about my school is the conflicting lives of the commuters and those students living on campus. It is a commuter-campus, yet there really isn't much activity to involve those who only attend school for classes. They tend to feel left out.

Katie

I Think the worst part about my school is the environment. There are a lot of hills and steps everywhere! Another thing is that there are police everywhere! I feel like I'm always being watched and that if I step one foot out of line, than I'll be charged with something crazy. Finally, the campus is dead on weekends and I wish it wasn't.

The worst thing about towson would probably be the limited amount of parking. Most of the students are commuters from areas 15 minutes or less from campus and parking can be difficult and stressful between 9am and 2 pm. Towson has provided shuttles that go to 4 different apartment complexes in the area but i dont know how much this has benefited parking since this is my first year with a car.

Andrea

I don't like that the people who attend my school are cold and not very open to new people. A lot of TU students know someone there from highschool, or many people. I came with no one and it was hard for me to meet new people because everyone had groups in place already.

I think the most unfortunate aspect of Towson is that because it is affordable it attracts many students who want a degree and don't necessarily care about learning for its own sake. That is, I think that often there is a lack of respect for the gift of education that is reprehensible. Towson is very affordable and makes itself available to a wide range of students and should be appreciated for it.

the weather, because its radom at times

the parking situation. it is a majoroty commuter school. they do not acccomodate very well in this aspect.

Housing and parking. Getting housing is difficult, especially as an upperclassman or transfer. New freshman students are only assured housing untill they reach a certain credit limit, so in a way motivated students who take alot of classes/credits are forced out more quickly than those who take the minimum of 12 credits each semester. Even if you decide to live off campus, the parking situation at TU is quite difficult unless you arrive on campus before 9 or 10 am.
