I'm thinking about checking out Towson State University for college. Can someone tell me where exactly it's located? I'm interested in the vibe of the area around the campus.
Towson University, previously known as Towson State University, is located in Towson, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore. It's in a primarily residential and business area, providing a nice balance of a quieter, suburban feel while also offering modern conveniences and amenities. The campus is less than 10 miles north of downtown Baltimore, so city attractions and nightlife are also within a short drive.
Being near a major city gives students access to cultural activities like museums and art galleries, potential internships, jobs, and more. However, keep in mind that campus life could feel different based on whether students commonly live off-campus in the city or spend most of their time on or near the campus itself. Some find that having a college located in a suburban area gives them the best of both worlds - a chance to experience college life in a more traditional setting while also being able to step into the hustle and bustle of a major city when they want to.
