Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Living off campus is a choice that many Towson students make. There are many wonderful apartment complexes in proximity to the campus, but living in private homes is becoming more and more common. And students love that their options tend to be affordable and convenient. Believe it or not, though, no matter how much students love living off campus, many end up missing the dorms.

One of the best reasons for living off campus is that the majority of nearby apartments are filled with Towson students, which makes living off campus a more comfortable experience. And, although students interact with other students living off campus, this does not take away from the independent stance of living away from the dorms. Every apartment complex is different from the other—some are more like a traditional home, while other complexes tend to party a little more. The choice is yours.

A Lot of Options and Fantastic University Support for Off Campus Residents

There are a lot of apartment complexes within a five mile radius with several within walking distance. A lot of upperclassmen choose to live off campus. The cost of living off campus is reasonable, and the university even provides free shuttle service to and from many area apartment complexes.

Off-Campus

The downside is how far away the apartments can be. Who wants to walk that far to go to class? However the added freedom is great. Unfortunately after all the add on things that aren't included in rent right away the price is greater than on campus living.
