Towson University Top Questions

Getting all work done on time.

The internet connection is not great throughout the campus

The most frustrating thing about Towson University is the lack of availablity for on-campus housing. As a transfer student, it is basically impossible for me to find an on-campus living arrangement. Having to commute to classes every day is the most frustrating part of my college experience at Towson University.

It was very difficult to make friends. I did not make the life long friendships that I hoped to make throughout college.

Sometimes it is frustrating that many of the clubs meet around the same time. I want to attend so many clubs meetings as a way to become involved in the Towson community, but sometimes club meetings overlap or at times when I have class.

It was not my first choice and is more of a liberal arts college instead of a hardcore business school. I am stuck here due to my financial inability to go to my first choice school. This is frustrating since my parents can afford to send me to my first choice school but do not want to. Because of this I am also incapable of recieving financial aid.

Financial aide availablity was probably the most frusterating aspect of Towson, along with some of the professors. Trying to acquire the money inorder to pay for college was very frusterating.

The parking situation! There are alot of commuters and it is very difficult to find parking. Five minutes makes a big difference when it comes to finding a parking space in the morning!

The most frustrating thing about our school is the Financial Aid Processes.

I wanted to host a Feed My Starving Children event on campus, but the processing and fees that the school would require are superflous. FMSC is an organization that packs meals and sends them overseas to children without food. I thought it would be an awesome chance to make students more aware of world wide starvation, while giving them an opportunity to do something about it, however, the extra work I would have to do simply to get the event approved would take too much time and money.

One of the most frustrating things at Towson, are how some professors and faculty don't feel inclinded to help you. They are not all like this! Not even most, but you do run into some, and it is very frustrating. Just keep going to different people unitl you get the help you need.

The single most frustrating thing about my school, indeed all schools is a lack of funding availability for white males. I am financially secure by my own accord (I saved 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of those Army checks), debt free and attending school on the GI Bill. I've seved my country only to be discriminated against based on my gender and race. There are minority student unions yet I would be disbarred trying to start one of my own. The ladies get their own special orientation but where's one for the guys (to warn them about college girls for instance!)?

Professors that did not assess students' prior knowledge to get an understanding of their current knowledge. I felt very lost and behind in some of my classes at the beginning before I was able to catch up.

Signing in guests is kind of a hassle; at UMD College Park, people can just bring their guests in without a big fuss. Also, the parking is really bad for most of the week. Academically, though, everything about Towson is pretty great.

The most frustrating thing for me as a freshmen, has been not having my car. Freshmen are not allowed to bring their cars due to parking space, and since I am from out of state, it would be nice to have a car to just get away on the weekends and days we get off of school. They provide a free shuttle bus for students, but the days/times are very inconvenient and it does not take you to very many places. So being stuck on campus is frustrating.

The most frustrating thing to me about my school is how expensive everything on campus is. As a freshman here at Towson they don't let us have a car on campus, so I am left to depend off of whatever is on campus. The prices in our University store for the simpliest items are so expensive. We pay so much to go here to begin with so I don't have the extra money to subdue to the amusement park prices. At the end of the week I have to save up so many meals just to buy food.

rEGISTERING FOR CLASSES... THERE ARE MORE STUDENTS THEN CLASS SPACE

The most frustrating thing about my school is the futile charges. It appears that Towson University finds any route to charge their students. Many of the charges may range from credit limitations to parking violations. Because the rules and regulations at Towson are at abundance, it is a bit difficult for a freshmen or a transfer student to get aware and get used to the system. I must admit that I am a living testimony and a reflection of the freshmen or transfer students at Towson University. In my fifth week of school, Towson gave me a parking citation.

At my school I haven't found anything that truly frustrates me. So far the experience for me has been all positive.

The most frusterating thing about Towson university is the terrain that makes up the campus. There are plenty of hills that cause for frusteration when walking to class especially when you are carrying multiple books and a laptop. Its irritating and embarrassing to arrive to class huffing and puffing after adventuring across hills and then up three flights of stairs to get on time.
