College Prowler Take

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.

Housing off campus after freshman year is very convenient and definitely worth it.

There are plenty of housing options off campus, such as the Village, Millennium, the Colony, and Kenilworth. All complexes are mainly made up of Towson students.

I think that the all-around greatest place to live is in the Colony. It is kind of like moving up to older, more mature dorms. You’re not living the dorm life, but the fun is all around. I would say that the more home-style place to live is Kenilworth and the place next door to it.

It is convenient and reasonable if you find the right place. The Village is overpriced and really not worth it. There are many other great places, such as Kenilworth or the Colony that you can find housing cheaper than living on campus.

I’d say most people move off after freshman year, and definitely by junior year only a handful of upperclassmen still reside on campus.
