there are some bars like the green turtle and the rec room but there arent any really good clubs to go dancing. also everything you have to be 21yrs of age to get into even if your drinking. it sucks and there isnt anything to do if you dont have a 21 ID

Party Scene

The Drug and Alcohol Scene at Towson is high. There is alot of peer pressure, especially on lower classman. Binge drinking is huge at Football/Tailgating. Policy is enforced and you are given a second chance. Towson has a counseling center that offers drug and alcohol programs. The drugs at Towson seem to be limited to Pot.
