Towson University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Jaleesa

Prior to comming to this school I wish I had known about course admission and accessment which seem somewhat caotic during the beginning days of a new semester.

Jensy

I wish I had know how to manage my time better. There are so many activities and organizations that are available for people to get inlolved with; it's easy to get priorities mixed up. I ended up getting more involved than I should have, not leaving enough time for me to thoroughly focus on my studies.

Ariel

I wish I were aware of the limited amount of free campus activities.

Bree

I find myself missing home alot because of the three hour drive. I also wish I was aware of the fact that even though my school has thousands of people, you find yourself knowing alot of the same people and having the same connections. Especially if you are friends with a sorority or fraternity, there is not as much diversity in group affiliation as one may think.

Parking is absolutely terrible so don't waste your money on a parking pass unless you're splitting it with someone. Also, live off campus because the rules for the on-campus housing are restrictive.

Erin

Before I went to Towson University I wish I had known how relatively easy it would be for juniors and seniors to obtain on-campus housing. Though housing is guaranteed for an incoming freshman?s first four semesters, Towson neglected to mention what happened afterwards. So when the fourth semester arrived my friends and I were frantically scanning the classifieds and searching online, trying to find affordable off-campus housing. Two weeks later, much to our immense relief, we received a letter in our mailboxes explaining that nice, on-campus apartments were available for our junior and senior years.

I wish I had prepared better for their in-processing of sytudents which was really in-depth

Muyiwa

The high cost of text books. However this applies to most institutions.

caitlin

how expensive off campus housing and sororities were

How the meal plans work (like how you get ripped off), how on campus apartments work when you apply for housing (so I would not have gotten screwed over), that you lose A LOT of money for no reason, that if you apply to live on campus, the $350 you pay JUST to hold your spot...you can not get back. For no reason other than they want to steal your money.
