Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The area of Towson has it all. It is the ideal college town with everything to offer, aside from school spirit—it is obvious that there is a lack thereof of that. Students love the fact that Towson has a selection of many bars, restaurants, a great mall, movie theaters, and a bookstore, all within walking distance of the University. The local community is, for the most part, friendly toward the students, but the interaction among students and locals is not that frequent. Another great aspect of Towson’s location is that it is not in the busy city of Baltimore but right outside of it, which is what students find most convenient. There is a vast variety of places to go to within 10 minutes of the school, including downtown Baltimore or Fells Point, which is most popular on Halloween.

Although there are many students from multiple schools that surround Towson and Baltimore, the schools do not interact that often. Furthermore, even with the presence of many local bars closer to campus, many students still prefer the downtown Baltimore bars instead.

Local Atmosphere

Towson is a nice enough Town to leave in. There are places to go to when I feel like having fun (movies, nightclubs, restaurants, parties) enough places to go to when I feel like studying (parks, libraries). Locals are friendly and tactful. They talk to you when you want to and also leave you alone when you want to. However, it seems that recently, the crime rate has gone up. Nevertheless, Towson stays a charming environment for all kind of people: introverted people who like their privacy like me and sociable people who want to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Great Area Sometimes

There's definitely things to do on the weekend like going to the mall or out to eat on the strip on York Road. However, that can get boring after a while and at night some of the food places turn into bars and that can be a downer when you're not 21.

Ellen came to town! The "Ellen DeGeneres Show" came to Towson University! Everyone gathered under heavy rain, but that did not matter! Towson students are always ready to have some fun—no matter the weather!
