Towson University Top Questions

The two biggest stereotypes about Towson is that it's the second-choice school for Maryland residents who aren't accepted to the University of Maryland and that it's the school where all of the spray-tanned orange, Northface-wearing, party loving Jersey girls go. They're both pretty accurate if you take a look around. But you'll find that some orange Jersey girls are total sweethearts if you give them a chance. And most of the students who come here as a second-choice school end up falling in love with it. There are so many student groups and subcultures at Towson, at a school with 20,000 students everyone is bound to find a group of students who are just their style.

The stereotype is that Towson is full of partying. This is not true, although a lot of students here do party often there is also a lot of students who do other things on the weekends like participate in clubs, sporting events etc.

To me, I don't find there is a stereotype nor has there been one. Towson University is too diverse of a school to have a major stereotype. I mean of course there are individual stereotypes within the groups on campus, such as, certain clubs are smarter than others or one club on accepts pretty girls ect. Overall, this is a pretty normal campus, nothing stands out to be a major stereotype.

The most common stereo type here at Towson is the bunch of party girls, who are generally from New Jersey, and known to wear North Face jackets and Ugg boots. This stereotype is only partially accurate - yes it seems to be the fashion sense but there are many committed students here at Towson - though they like to have fun.

The only stereotype I have ever heard of is that the girls at Towson University are "Hot" or very good looking. I have also heard some people say that all of the girls wear uggs and north face jackets. While there are a lot of girls like this, this is simply not true for everyone. So many people go to Towson University, there is a great diversity and you will for sure find a group of people that fit into your lifestyle.

At Towson the stereotypical attire for females is Ugg boots and leggings. This is true to an extent but you'll also see lots of rainboots since it rains a lot especially during the spring.

There is said to be typical long island stereotype at our school and they are labeled as sorority members. Even though there are many long island students, it does not mean that they are "mean" girls. Besides this one stereotype I hear often, I think the school has a variety of "groups" where students will find their direction of where they fit in more.

Personally I don't believe that there are any blatant stereotypes noticible at Towson! I see a great variety of every culture and type of student that you could think of! Along with being very culturally diverse, Towson also has student organizations for every type of student to be a.part of! To me, Towson is very unbias and does not have any serious stereotypes.

Because Towson University is such a large school there are many stereotypes. One stereotype that most boys seem to like is that Towson has a lot of pretty girls. Another one is that it is a lot of fun and people always enjoy themselves when they attend or visit Towson. Academically we are a good school and work hard.
