Located just eight miles outside of Baltimore, Towson University is the second-largest school in Maryland鈥檚 public university system, offering its nearly 20,000 students more than sixty undergraduate majors. The 鈥減roximity to Baltimore and D.C. are great for job opportunities,鈥 and students find 鈥渕any internships鈥 there too. Since the school offers 鈥渁 never-ending fountain of free resources,鈥 they also have access to tutoring, skills classes, 鈥渆ssay proofreading, [and] laptop repairs鈥 on campus. This support extends beyond the classroom, too: 鈥淭here are a lot of resources at our disposal if we ever need help academically, physically, or emotionally.鈥 This is the result of initiative the school takes in 鈥渃atering to the students鈥 needs.鈥 As another student says, 鈥淭he campus is constantly striving to improve.鈥
The majority of students agree that faculty are 鈥渨ell-educated and know how to further explain concepts.鈥 Professors ensure that when students sit down in class, it 鈥渋sn鈥檛 just boring slides,鈥 and it 鈥渙ften involves different forms of technology.鈥 If a student can鈥檛 grasp a concept, teachers usually 鈥渁re willing to go the extra mile until it is understood.鈥 And while Towson may be sizable, 鈥渢here are enough professors here [such] that learning is as personalized as it would be on a smaller campus.鈥 That means small class sizes in which 鈥測ou can get to know your professors and classmates鈥; group work that 鈥渁llows you to replicate the skills that you have been learning in class鈥; and teachers who 鈥渞elate the material to the real world and show how we will use the material in real-life situations.鈥
