    This school is great for all types of students. There are clubs and activities for anything you'd like to try (I was in three). It's a party school and a study school. It is it's own little community and it seems from the inside of the school to not be in the midst of a large city, but you're surrounded by places to go, for the people who hate being in one place. There are great people here for those who are scared they won't meet new friends and the teachers are fantastic with working with you so you'll pass, for those who are academically nervous. All in all I'd give this school an A+ for diversity in sex, religion and race. read full review

    I recently transferred from a 4 year public college closer to my home, to Towson University mainly because of their Business Program. At Towson, they were very professional and the students and teachers knew fully what they were talking about compared to the other college I attended. I like how it is a bit challenging to get into the School of Business because that will show my future employers that I am a hard working student. They also have that exact program I want to study which is a major in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and Public Relations. read full review
