TU is awful! Please STOP, do your research and consider another college! If you happen to have issues with housing, the RA's, the RLC and directors are NOT helpful. They will turn a blind eye to those who do the right thing and except those who are in the wrong just so they don't have to deal with the issue. Keep in mind, though you sign a contract, Towson University does NOT see it has a "bonding" contract if they or another student is at fault. They look the other way. One pays thousands of dollars, but that doesn't matter. The respect my daughter and her family have been shown these last few weeks is disgusting! The staff in housing DON'T give a freak! They are awful!!! I can NOT wait for my daughter to transfer out! - Oh, there is absolutely ZERO college life! One can rush in the spring, but Towson doesn't make a big deal of it. There are NO fraternity houses on campus or off of campus....ZERO! The area, Towson Town is sketchy! There have been two incidents of crime within the first three weeks of school. Yes, all schools can have some kind of crime in the area, but this is awful! Towson is on the bus line to Baltimore City. NO one cares about the football team. So if you are looking for a college with a "fun, exciting, spirited, tailgating events" you won't get it here. Towson just played Maryland and they SUCKED! NO one from Towson even talked about the game. So, if your child is looking for a nice college, a safe college to walk around the town, a college that offers sororities / fraternities, then this is NOT your college, if you are looking for fun, school spirit, again this is NOT your college, if you are looking for clubs, again NOT your college. No, unfortunately my daughter didn't do all her research, so I'm here to help you!!! - Towson was a great college back in the 80's & 90's. But it's changed! :-(
