Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming To School
  • Before a cab takes you where you do not want to go, know that there is a difference between Power Plant and Power Plant Live!. Power Plant Live! is where the popular bars are.
  • If you hear the word VIP’s, it refers to the same place as Paws.
  • The Patuxent is the greatest place to eat on campus. For those who did not get this book, they probably will not know about it ‘til a month into school and will be eating bad Towson food.

  • Towson is one of the only schools where you can get beer delivered to your door at 3 a.m. if you are 21 or older.

Corporate Video Class for Film Majors

The Corporate Video class in the Electronic Media and Film Department of Towson is a great class because it allows you to produce a video for an actual company in the Baltimore area. This is great because it allows you to add something substantial to your demo reel as a filmmaker.
