Towson has several reasons that make it so unique and we all love it! Check out these reasons that we all love Towson University:
1. Size
It actually is a big campus with a small campus feel. I'm not talking about all the stuff you hear on every college tour. I mean, Towson has a lot of students, but no matter where I walk, I always see someone I know. It's not as big as the University of Maryland but it is the perfect size.
2. Greek life without housing
Greek life is a huge part of Towson's social scene. However, not having housing allows it not to be too overwhelming to those not involved in Greek life.
3. Tigerfest
The signature Towson event every April. It does not matter who performs, you are guaranteed to have an amazing time.
4. Being in Maryland
We're located in the state with the best pride!
5. Meals at Starbucks
Most schools don't let you use your meal plan on a frappuccino. Even if the hours are limited.
6. Shuttles
We have shuttles that go through campus. We have shuttles that go to other colleges in the area (John's Hopkins, Loyola, Goucher), off campus apartments and through the Towson area. All of these shuttles are for free.
7. Best Education Program in MD
Towson is known for the education program. It happens to be the best in Maryland.
8. Nightlife
There is always sometime to do at night. From uptown to going to the Colonies, there is always something going on.
9. Safer Mobility App/ Safety
I have always felt safe in Towson. Even though crime does happen, when I am on campus, I have never felt in danger. We have a free app where you can text the TU police and have live video with them whenever a student feels unsafe.
10. Dining Staff
We have nicest dining staff ever.
11. Study Abroad
Minimester, spring, summer, winter. It doesn't matter when, Towson will do whatever they can to allow you to study abroad whenever and wherever you want.
12. National Student Exchange
We also have a program that many don't know about called National Student Exchange. It is where you can pay Towson tuition for a semester or a year and go to another school in the U.S. There are many schools to pick from, to the University of South Carolina to schools in Hawaii.
13. Long Winter Break
That six-week winter break has its highs and lows. But it is nice to have a long time at home.
