My daughter is a freshman at Towson, enrolled with an early acceptance into their OT program. While the majority of the students are Maryland residents she has made many friends from her home of NJ and other states. It does get a little quieter on the weekends but she is very happy and is always busy doing something. She would rate the school as residential, not commuter (even though there certainly are a # of commuter students). She is dormed in one of the Glen Towers and will be able to stay in the same room next year. The school does have a housing crunch but has a major construction project that is slated to be finished by the fall of 2008. New freshman housing, more parking, etc. The school has received funding from the state of Maryland for expansion but I believe it plans to cap enrollment at 20,000 or 21,000 over the next 5 years.

I have another daughter who is currently a HS junior and Towson is on her list of schools to consider because of the dance/theatre program. When my older daughter was looking at schools she only considered those on the east coast that offered the 5-yr Masters degree program for occupational therapy and that made things much easier.
