The questioning mind deserves answers. The dream deserves a chance to grow, a place to live, a place to learn from those who know. Find your future.

00:00:40.100 - 00:00:56.840

Build your dreams. All the answers, all you need. It's all right here. Your future waits at Towson State.

00:01:00.480 - 00:01:23.230

Oh, it's all right here. Your future waits at Towson State. From its modest beginnings in 1866 as a teachers' school, Towson State has become a modern university with six colleges. Set on 306

00:01:23.230 - 00:01:41.640

lush green acres in a quiet community just north of Baltimore, Towson State has gained increasing acclaim from U.S. News and World Report for providing an outstanding yet affordable education. That quality and affordability has drawn students here from nearly all 50 States

00:01:41.640 - 00:01:52.960

and more than 75 countries. It's a diverse student body, one that's well served by the school's International Student Center, nationally prominent Women's Center, and Afro American Cultural Center.

00:01:53.960 - 00:02:10.920

Students not only come from far away to go to Towson, they go far too. Towson State was the first university to exchange dance students with the Soviet Union's renowned Leningrad Conservatory. It's opportunities like that which add to the richness of the collegiate experience.

00:02:11.400 - 00:02:23.830

That richness is made even greater by the school's more than 100 clubs and organizations, including 31 national fraternities and sororities. With all those groups, you can be sure on-campus social life is

00:02:23.830 - 00:03:15.190

fun and rewarding. How much fun? Just watch. (music)

00:03:33.430 - 00:03:50.080

Towson State's NCAA Division One teams give sports fans plenty to cheer about. Whether it's basketball, baseball, gymnastics, or the rough-and-tumble excitement of lacrosse, the Towson Tigers have what it takes to gain national rankings. Can't get enough of

00:03:50.080 - 00:04:02.120

sports? Then you'll be glad the Towson Student Activities Board sponsors low-cost trips to nearby professional sporting events as well as bargain getaways to Annapolis, Washington, and other East Coast points of interest.

00:04:10.520 - 00:04:48.400

And if you like sun, sand, and surf, no place is more interesting than Maryland's playground, Ocean City. And in the winter, nearby ski resorts are ready for you to make your run.

00:04:49.920 - 00:05:03.940

But you don't have to go that far from campus for excitement, because dynamic downtown Baltimore is only about fifteen minutes away. With the world renowned Inner Harbor and the National Aquarium, Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, museums, theaters,

00:05:03.940 - 00:05:21.040

gourmet restaurants, and much more on your doorstep, you've got all the attractions of big city living without any of the hassle. And speaking of hassles, you've heard about the nightmares of college registration.

00:05:21.120 - 00:05:29.960

Those long lines. Well, forget about them because Towson is one of the first universities on the East Coast to offer convenient registration by phone.

00:05:30.280 - 00:05:45.440

Towson's popular residence halls offer co- ed and single-sex dorms in buildings ranging from modern high rises to cozy two-story dwellings. Towson State has even pioneered a new concept in on-campus living, Towson Run Apartments.

00:05:46.280 - 00:06:02.910

Here 424 undergrads and grad students choose from fully furnished 1- 2- 3- and 4- bedroom apartments, each with living- dining areas, complete kitchens, and private baths. Towson Run Apartments also features state-of-the-art security and convenient

00:06:02.910 - 00:06:14.960

designated parking. Towson State also has acquired the Berkshire, a luxury high rise apartment building. This may well be the most elegant student residence facility in the country.

00:06:15.920 - 00:06:39.440

Just take a look at some of the amenities. Wherever you live, you'll discover that the residence program at Towson State involves you in campus activities, lets you experience your university as a community,

00:06:39.440 - 00:06:54.600

and students from all over the country choose the Towson experience because this is a university of choices. Select from more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, programs carried on in an atmosphere so warm and friendly,

00:06:54.960 - 00:07:12.920

the atmosphere of a small campus, that it's hard to believe Towson attracts more than 15,000 full- and-part time students. That small campus feeling is reflected in our 17-to-one student-faculty ratio, which encourages personal attention, which is only fitting because choosing a

00:07:12.920 - 00:07:41.050

college is a very personal and difficult decision. So as you decide, consider Towson's national reputation, educational excellence, outstanding faculty, small class size, great location, fun and excitement, gorgeous campus, terrific housing,

00:07:41.050 - 00:07:54.360

full range of programs and affordability. All things considered, we think you'll find it hard not to choose Towson State. But first, you've got to call or write for more

00:07:54.360 - 00:08:22.310

information. Then, see you around the campus. A questioning mind deserves answers. A dream deserves a chance to grow. A place to live,

00:08:22.630 - 00:08:43.600

a place to learn from those who know. Find your future, build your dreams. All the answers, all you need. It's all right here.
