Towson University Top Questions

For me, I guess the worst thing would be that there's not as much school spirit as I would like. As someone who loves my school, I wish I saw a little more of that.

Emphasis on students who receive financial aid, and much less help given to those who don't qualify for financial aid but still need help paying.

There are two types of girls at this school- bitchy, legging-wearing, ugg-donning, straight-haired waifs, and those who are actually there to learn. Being in classes with people (both males and females) that did not care about the subject or sucess at college is draining for those of us who are committed to our studies.

The school tends to admit students who are ill-prepared for college or who should not be in college in the first place.

The gym is definitely too small. Housing is extremely expensive

The worst thing about Towson University is the perception that it is located in a bad area. There is a small minority of criminals who do seem to prey on students. Once criminals become less successful I believe they will look for different victims. Towson does a good job alerting the students when a crime does take place. The campus police along with the local law enforcement officals do seem to take these crimes seriously.

Honestly, i feel like in comparison to things i love the most about Towson, there isn't much that I dislike. There are so many opportunities and experiences that you can find as long as you put yourself out there. I think my least favorite thing about Towson is that it's a major commuter school so when you're walking around the campus on weekends, it feels like no one is there because a majority of the students aren't there. Also, the construction is at it's prime so walking to class takes longer than usual.

The worst thing is possibly the size because while the campus is beautiful its kinda huge and getting from class to class can sometimes be a huge pain and when you don't have a long break and you have a class in another building it can be virtually impossible to get to class on time but in that case students just need to plan well.

Compared to the other university I attendend, I have very little complaints with Towson beyond the messy process of getting your financial aid money for your books when you are dependant upon it.

If anything, it would be how Towson's winter break is a month and a half long. Although this may seem like a good thing, being out of school for so long gets me out the "school mood".

The food allocated for vegetarians is the worse thing on capus. We have a very significant vegetarian/ vegan population; however, these food options are limited. It may be a little more costly to include an appropriate amount of optiond but I believe that it's fair. Especially, compared to the two items per menu that we have now. The efforts to help increase food options have made some changes; nonetheless, the fact that my meal may be more for me since it does not include chicken-which is usually included in the meal deal- is sincerely a huge problem

The worst thing about my school would be lack of school spirit in our athletics.

The worst thing about school is the dorms and the cafeteria. What they don't tell students, even impressionable 17-18 year olds coming out of high school is that they and their families would spend less money renting a room off campus and buying groceries to cook in one's own kitchen. Why pay $1000/mo. to have a roomate in the dorms when you could pay $300 to have a roommate a mile away, or $8 per meal versus $2 a meal for one cooked by a budding adult venturing out on their own?

The worst thing about Towson University is that they dont have enough droms built so they get filled very quickly.

As a freshman and sophomore trying to enter the Nursing Prigram it was difficult at times to get all the preliminary courses required to apply to the Nursing Program. I had to take a class at my local community college and also had to wait a semester to apply into the program.

The worst thing about Towson University is the commuter parking. MANY students at Towson live off campus, and there is simply not enough parking within a reasonable distance from the main campus. The result is students circling the parking garages for 30 minutes looking for parking spaces, giving up and going home, and therefore missing a class. As a former driving commuter student, I can say first hand that the experience is miserable, especially at the beginning of the semester.

The worst thing about Towson is the parking. Parking here is aboslutely horrendous. If you are not here by 9:00 a.m. do not expect a good parking spot, or even a spot at all. To avoid this hassel just simply live on campus

The worst thing about my school is location. Because we're in a city surrounded by traffic and non-college life, many students commute. Almost all juniors and seniros own their own apartments with friends off campus, which makes it harder to meet people, especially the upper classmen. Being in the city gives people a lot to do but its almost all bar life at Towson, which creates a lot less for underclassmen to do on weekends. Towson is a great place to be when 21 or older but for students younger than that, there isn't much to do.

The worse thing about the school so far is waiting for a bus around campus. The bus schedule doesn't easily fit into the class schedules, after some classes you have to wait around for a bus for about thirty minutes.

The Glenn Complex Dining hall. The food is not that great there.
