Towson University Top Questions

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

Jacqueline

Towson is a commuter school and is known for it. Parking is horrible. Because everyone practically commutes not many students are on campus during the weekend except for those with campus housing.

I wish I knew that for the Deaf Studies portion of my major I would need to find other opportunities to practice and learn ASL outside of class. I didn't realize how much the Deaf Studies department did not prepare me for the Deaf Community and communicating with them. I also wish I knew exactly what classes I needed to graduate on time before entering Towson because they placed me in courses that did not apply to my major and now I am behind in my course requirements.

Danielle

I wish I had known how important your high school GPA really is because it could have helped me to secure a lot more scholarship based aid than I was able to.

Jacqueline

Nothing. You got the information you needed about the school and campus life, so making the decision was easy and I was not disapointed in what I received.

Shareta

Before deciding to attend my university I wish I had known that the art department was inconsistent with their major requirements. I am a photography major and I have had an extremely difficult time taking pre-req courses and registering for required courses. Many required course are within other departments and are not offered to non majors of the department. Other courses are not often on a consisten basis. Also the photography department is constantly changing the degree requirements which causes majors to have to stay in school longer than they planned.

Devin

I wish I had a better idea of my major so I could have been more selective in my classes.

Chelsea

To really take advantage of the on-campus activities and join clubs or greeks organizations or else you feel a little secluded from others.

Brittany
