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.

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.

Off Campus Housing!

It's really a toss up between on/off campus housing. There's a lot of places to get an apartment that is close to campus, you don't even need a car. Plus, parking on the street is better than paying for a parking pass at the university. The price for renting someplace for one year, a two-bedroom apartment, is a little cheaper than dorming 2 semesters at school.

Off Campus Housing

There are so many options for off campus housing. There is housing across the street, down the road, or if you have a car you can rent a house farther away than walking distance. The parking is pretty good for off campus housing as well and I know a lot of people who live with 2 or 3 friends in off campus housing to split the costs.
