Favorite Spot on Campus

My favorite place on campus is the Towsontown garage. I know garages are not typically the first place that comes to mind when thinking about the best places on Towson's campus, but some of my best memories have been made in that particular garage! My sorority participates in a dance competition on campus and our practices were always held in the Towsontown garage, we would stay out there until really late at night and practicing our routines. During my senior year of high school when I toured Towson University, I never even took a second look at the garage because I never thought it would become a significant place to me, but now whenever I see that garage I can't help but think of all of the memories I have laughing, goofing off, singing and dancing with my sorority sisters!

What advice would you give a prospective student?

Keep an open mind! You could be surprised at how much you like a school that you never expected to like. Also, when you are visiting schools try to think if you could picture yourself there or not. Try to imagine yourself just walking around the campus on a normal day, try to imagine yourself eating in the dining halls, try to imagine if this could be your new home!

Why did you choose Towson University?

I chose Towson University because it had everything I wanted in a school and it truly felt like the right school for me! I wanted to go to a school that has big school aspects (big sports games, Greek life, etc.) but I did not want to go to a school where all of my classes were in giant lecture halls. Towson has the best of both worlds with big school aspects, but small class sizes. I also just had a feeling that Towson was the best school for me, it just felt right!

What advice would you give to an incoming new student?

Fully embrace the college experience, meet new people, get involved, go to class, go to events on campus and step out of your comfort zone!
