Shorelight Group Towson University

One of the nation’s top 100 public universities, Towson University offers a welcoming environment for living and learning, close to many educational, cultural and community resources.

Towson University offers students the best of both worlds. We have the academic programs and exceptional faculty typical of a large university coupled with the close-knit community and personalized approach of a small college. TU’s wide range of extracurricular activities contribute to a dynamic student experience. Students can pursue diverse interests and cultivate undiscovered talents.

The backdrop for learning is TU’s beautiful 329-acre suburban campus, located eight miles north of Baltimore and less than an hour’s drive from Washington, D.C. Throughout the  region, Towson University’s strong partnerships with public and private organizations provide unique opportunities for research, internships and jobs. The Towson Learning Network extends beyond its main campus to  off-campus locations throughout the state. Transfer students can complete their degrees at TU in Northeastern Maryland.

Towson University is the second-largest university in the prestigious University System of Maryland, the 12th-largest public university system in the United States. TU is also a founding member of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities and offers employment opportunities at all levels.

Dining

When you just need a quick break, consider a coffee at our on-campus Starbucks, where the conversation flows as freely as the caffeine. Want to grab a bite before that mid-term or after a trip to the gym? Stop by Chick-fil-A or Einstein Bros. Bagels. — both located right on campus. Or stock up on a few snacks at one of our convenience stores. Go ahead and eat up — it’s all included in the Towson meal plan.

Want even more options? You’ll find Thai, Japanese, Italian, American and many more types of cuisine right in the town of Towson, just a short walk from campus. And for those late-night cravings, many restaurants deliver right to your residence hall or apartment. Learn more about dining on campus
