What is Towson?
the definition above is slightly,cough..total bullshit. American Eagle and Abercrombie are considered trashy by real towson standards, if you live here you undoubtedly have shopped at cohens, you hate wearing tennis shoes(only wallabees, docksiders, or flipflops will do), you can outdrink anyone from out of state in college (and could since sophomore year high school), drunk driving is a way of life (unfortunately) but we're damn good at it, baseball is gay (but o's games are a great excuse to get ripped)and you hate the yankees (but dont know why), you play lacrosse or uh no one knows you, you are so good at ruit, or pong, that colleges offer you scholarships your junior year, you can spot another towson kid a mile away, and see everyone else as aliens, if you really do live in towson then you will stay there your entire life because nothing else is home to you, 200person houseparties arent once a month occurances, there are a few a weekend,
miaa championship game, your either playing in it or your drunk watching it,

Towson - what is it?
Truth is anyone who's from Towson loves it for one reason and hates it for another (even if its a small reason). The weird thing about Towson is when you leave, you miss it(even though you don't want too), and when you're there you want to get the hell out (or so you think). Once you have left, even if you never return, you will always have a little piece of it inside you. It might be a memory of your first Lily dress or your favorite pair of Uggs, or maybe its a memory of the first time you smoked at Towson Commons or roamed around town drunk. Thing is there's a little bit of everything in Towson, and a little bit of Towson in anyone who's ever lived there.
Towson fosters a multitude of fun stuff for people of every color, shape, size, and scene. Its true, you know it, deal.
What does "Towson" mean?
Towson. The nations epicenter for lacrosse and all things plaid. a spring day in towson is like being lost in a sea of pink, neon green, and baby blue. towson is 2nd to none in the amount of public-private schools in a single area. its the kind of place where it doesnt matter who throws a party, but where that person goes to high school. towson is the origin of the "field party", although you will have to go to a surrounding area to actually see a field party. The center of attention in towson is Bateman's on a monday night, and outside towson commons on a friday night, for all teenagers in their plaid shorts and popped collars. Towson is the "prep" capital of the world. Where every girl is loaded off her daddy's money, and decked out in only Abercrombie or American Eagle; nothing less will suffice. Following graduation Ocean City, Maryland becomes the new "towson" for the single most eventful, party filled, drunken, chaotic week of your life: SENIOR WEEK. Where ever you are now, and however old you are, if you ever lived here, you will forever be, a towson kid.
first weekend in may: Towson festival...this will give you an example.
Towson - what does it mean?
actually towson is not filled with popped collars and all that other stuff. it is filled with homeless people that beg for money and wear the same dirty clothes every day and walk around with knives picking fights
go to towson and look
Towson - meaning
Also known as Weirdo University, Towson is located in one of the most crime ridden areas of the state. Only at Towson will you get alerts sent to your phone of someone getting held up at knife/gunpoint in a library or parking garage, or that a man was found be*ting off while following a woman to her car.
At Towson, the 80% of students are in a frat or sorority, which means you WILL NOT make any friends unless you join one. Unless you fall within the other 20% - 10% Commuter and 10% Montgomery County snob. The students from Montgomery County, or "MoCo" as they call it, think they're the hottest shit since sliced bread. They all know each other from high school, they're actually not attractive at all, and lucky for you, they don't want to be your friend. In fact, no one does!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the phenomenal job the college does for handing out parking tickets like candy on Halloween, and the AMAZING professors at Towson, who will literally do whatever it takes for you to FAIL their course.
Overall, Towson can be summarized as a school full of losers who mostly all know each other and just want to party because, well, that's all there is to do in Maryland. With crime alerts on a daily basis, professors who will fail you with a smile on their face, and the most unappealing, snobby students ever, if you decide to go Towson, you will surely regret it.
"Hey bro where did you end up going out in Towson last night?"
"I went uptown again...man, what a weird, sh*tty night...I can't wait to go back home to New York. Why did we come here again?"
"I was wondering the same thing man. I need to go back home to Jersey and get away from these friggin annoying people as soon as possible!"
Towson - definition
aah Towson, my hometown. Lets see, I mean ofcourse there are those sketch punk kids but its mostly preppy kids. Us cool kids go to private schools and those whose parents do not make enough money to fit that category just wish they went to private schools.
-Girls lifestyles consist of big SUVs that daddy bought us, which we drive recklessly, while drunk and stoned, blaring obsene rap songs on the way to our never ending parties
-Boys are the epitome of Ralph Lauren, own all ruit tables, dabble in cocaine, and slut their way through high school
Flip flops, polos, Lilly...you get the picture
Towson - slang
One of the worst kinds of suburbia; Where the weird kids and the outcasts can't feel sorry for themselves since its not a "white picket fence" area, but where they're always surrounded by republican, conservative "laxxerzzz" and their plastic surgery-high mothers who have too much money to be living in that area, but do anyway.
Me: Get me out of here
Me: Please let me go to college now
Me: Only not at Towson U cause that'd suck balls
Me: Please
Me: Fuck
Towson
When describing Towson anyone who lives here knows that you can't leave out the surrounding upper class suburbs of Hunt Valley, Ruxton, Timonium and sometimes Jacksonville (see jville) that feed into the Towson scene. The kids are rich, pretty, smart and the best at their sport, spending most of their time toking on a joint in a friends 70,000$ car or playing ruit in someones basement. The parties are always huge, and no matter how fun it was it will always seem awesome because everybody was too drunk to remember. Lacrosse is THE sport, if you dont play it you play something else and you still love it. If you don't go to private school, its probably not because mommy and daddy cant pay for it but because you wish to have constant interaction with the opposite sex making it easier to be a slut during your high school years. Usually this is done at Dulaney, because Towson and Loch Raven just SUCK. Once you leave, you miss the hell out of it and always come back just so you can raise your own kids in the same unsupervised, spoiled manner your parents did.
We're smarter, prettier and richer than you, and you wouldn't understand unless you were a Towson kid.

Towson
Towson is a place where everyone has an opinion. Like anywhere else in the country, each group feels more entitled to the town than the others. The private school kids, the ones in plaids and pastels, they scoff at the punks. The punks in jeans that may or may not be skating will look down upon the rich snobs. Regardless, Towson is a place for both. Towson is a place where the private schoolers, the public schoolers, the preps, the punks, the goths, the jocks, the families, the college students...where everyone can feel like they own it. There are enough people like you in Towson to make you feel at home.
In Towson, you can tell your inside story to a total stranger (or say, post it on a website much like this), talk about your high school, your friends, or anything else in your life and expect people to understand you. You find yourself off at college talking about how Towson Commons is cool if you're in middle school (inside) or if you're under the influence (outside) when you realize no one else knows what you're talking about and they don't care either.
Lacrosse is much bigger in Towson than it is anywhere else. Look around. Count the LaxWorld, STX, or (insert high school) lacrosse stickers plastered to the back of SUVs, Volvos, and anything else that goes through the roundabout. Yes, there are other sports. Yes, they can field entire teams. No, they will not eclipse lacrosse in Towson.
Like it or not, Towson will remain the same, despite your best efforts. If you're a native, you'll understand. If you're not, hopefully you didn't grow up in a cave, so you'll understand, too. Towson is the best part of us and the worst, a piece of you that you can't get rid of. Towson is the reason you come back home and the reason you can't wait to leave.
Dude: Hey man, where did you get those obnoxious shorts?
Towsonite: Towson.
Chick: What was that game again? La-what?
Towsonite: Wow, you must really be stupid. Do you wanna see my room?
