What do you love most about Towson University?

It really is true that Towson is a large campus with a small campus feel. They say that in the informational videos for all schools, so prospective students may start to take that statement with a grain of salt. However, I feel like that statement truly epitomizes the close-knit nature of the Towson community. While I'm able to be independent, I also have the pleasure of seeing a familiar face almost everywhere I go on campus.

What advice would you give a prospective student?

Explore yourself, use your resources, focus and refine your passions, listen to your heart.

Why did you choose Towson University?

My mom always said that when searching for the right school for undergrad, I would walk on the campus and "just know". I looked at a lot of different schools during high school, and I never really got that feeling, where I "just knew". That is until I toured Towson. I had a feeling that Towson might be the one, but when I visited campus, as my mom said, I "just knew", and I never looked back. Specific things that drew me to Towson were the marching band, Honors College, and a bridge program called Towson Opportunities in STEM.
