So excited to start at Towson in the Fall!
The admissions group has been incredibly helpful and supportive. Especially for someone with special needs. Great School!report this review -

Went here for my undergraduate years. I loved every part of this school: the location, the professors, and course studies. My maturity developed in this school and changed my perspective towards being more of an adult. Towson University is also the 2nd largest public university in Maryland, with funding towards the newly development of learning infrastructure buildings and expanding of size economically, makes it an ideal university for future generational students. Thank you Towson University. -Proud Alum

I must start off by saying I love this school and I'm very proud to be a tiger. I attended the campus in Harford County but I really like the main campus, overall I get good vibes from the place, I plan on taking grad classes. However, the main campus itself is really confusing and hard to navigate. The buildings are poorly labeled. My mom and I must've drove around 2 or 3 times looking for Hawkins Hall. I looked at the map on my phone the night before and understood the location (it's behind the liberal arts building), simple enough, right? But we had such a difficult time finding it, we rode by it more than once. Finding buildings can also be stressful because in my case it's usually time sensitive, since on that particular day I wanted to talk to the instructional technology program director, and her office is located in Hawkins Hall, she would only be there for an hour. I had plenty of time, but nonetheless being lost is really frustrating. Another thing that bugs me is how the interior of the buildings makes you feel like you took a time machine back to the 70s. Even Hawkins Hall, where all of the educational technology and multimedia classes are taught, looks outdated, with walls that are all white brick, and the offices have such a creepy appearance. I know the school is old, but maybe a renovation could be on the horizon? I don't know, hopefully. Lol. On the plus side the faculty is nice and down to earth, they respond to emails in a timely manner. Nothing like the professors or faculty at the northeastern campus, who generally seemed unprofessional. The students also seem different, but in a positive way, considering how the people at the Harford County campus were stuck up and unfriendly. Like I said I want to take graduate courses here so I'll be editing my review as needed, I'm just commenting on my experience so far. My only peeves are the poor labeling and the old looking buildings, but besides that I love this school. Great place to get an undergrad or graduate degree.

WORST parking that a college campus could possibly have .. make sure you are willing to miss class and be late Bc prez Schatzel could care less about the parking situation.

The international advisor is a big fat liar. She will lie to your face and later on deny it. Had to pay $12000 for nothing. Parking garage is a joke and the money you pay for it is another joke. They are very hungry for money. I even tried to contact the dean of the university but she avoided me. Everyone there is a liar and cheat. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE.

Parking, drivers, and security suck here. Its like $300 for a permit but you cant even find parking in the first place! And there aren't cameras in every place in the garages so if your car gets hit (which I have witnessed) and run then you are SOL cause they probably don't even have a camera to protect you.
The school is crowded and you gotta be lucky to get your first choice of professor when you make your schedule.
Other than that its a nice school, big(ish) campus food options are meh and meal plans are out the butt expensive. But the people at this school are all unique I almost never see the same person twice on the same day so I guess that's good?
Employees range from nice to plain rude (usually the ones in the cafeterias are rude sometimes). There also ALWAYS construction at this school. Like idk what they spend the tuition costs on but they always are building stuff. How about a new parking garage?report this review -

I've been to a lot of schools and I really do enjoy Towson and its community. I've made some good memories there and am glad I decided to finish my degree there.

Don't transfer here. If you're a transfer student you're most likely won't graduate on time because of ALL the restrictions they put into place, if you're a business student. YOU have to be in the major to take certain courses but if you're a transfer student you won't be admitted into the major until your senior year. On top of that they have little amount of classes available, that is required for the WHOLE business program students take. When you try to talk to the chair of each department they pretty much don't help and couldn't care less if you are a commuter.
As a transfer student, I wish I choose a different school. I pay tuition like any other student and they will allow other students (probably not a minority) in the courses they need but force me to wait around until a seat is available and MAYBE get in. Just as a business student, I recommend looking into other schools.report this review -

Towson University does not care about their students that much. Especially if you are a transfer student. They do not like to accept credits for what they are worth and they continue to not support them. All transfers do not get housing oppurtunites on campus and usually have to live a bit of a walk from campus. They have shuttles to get to campus but they are struck with not shoeing up and late times. I am not very pleased with Towson and I believe if you are looking to come to Towson you may want to try a different university that cares about their students.

As a parent of a Towson junior my daughter as well as us parents are overall pleased with the Towson experience. The campus has been getting upgraded for the past 10 years and this is continuing. The academics are good. Some classes she says are a breeze but the higher level or honors classes really challenge her. According to her the social life is OK on campus but she spends much of her time a few blocs up in town where there is a lot to do. It is a safe area and Towson itself is a nice place to visit.

This school has no idea how to invest in anything they are too emotionally invested in each other's feelings to realize that there parking sucks, solar panels aren't needed, and the gym still isn't built! You plan to build more space, yet no new parking. Let's go Green and Have solar panels! Except that money could have been funded to build more parking floors.
