Moderate Strictness
I have found that Towson is relatively strict, but it is very dependent on where you live. Some RA's are extremely strict, while others will tell you where the parties are that night. The police force on campus also does routine rounds. The punishments are usually a warning or a mandatory meeting or probation. Cheating and plagiarism are also taken very seriously.

Rainy Days
There is quite a bit of rain at Towson, but the weather is known to be extremely fickle. There are days where you leave shivering with a jacket and come home sweating.

Great School
Towson is a great school for people looking for a large school with a small school feeling. Classes are small and the campus is distinct, but there it is still a large school very close to a big city. Students with all types of interests can find what they are looking for at Towson.

Average Facilities
The facilities at Towson are average. The student gym is very small and is often crowded, but the stadium is beautiful.The library is crowded during peak times but offers everything that students could need. The student union is a very popular place to eat and meet with classmates and offers plenty of dining options and a central location for offices.

Several Locations, Range in Price
Living off-campus is a popular choice at Towson, and is usually much cheaper than living on-campus. Students generally choose to live in apartments, there are not many houses. There are buses that run to many of the popular apartment complexes and students can find nice apartments for a moderate price.

Sports Are Not a Priority
The athletes who play the sports are dedicated, but the fans are not. Students do not regularly attend sporting events, even for popular sports like football and lacrosse. Intramurals and clubs are popular though, and many students enjoy playing them competitively.
