Housing for International Students

On-Campus Housing

International students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of Towson's many opportunities to live on campus, as it’s a great way to make friends and stay connected with our vibrant campus culture. On-campus housing is also incredibly convenient because all the resources students need are located right here—the library, dining halls, gymnasium, academic buildings, university store and more. That’s why more than 4,700 students choose to live near the academic, social, athletic and cultural events that take place on campus every day.

Residence halls feature furnished rooms and amenities such as free high-speed Internet, cable television, unlimited local telephone service, laundry facilities, kitchen space, common rooms and lounges, and microwave/refrigerater units in every room.

Global Village

Global Village is a special on-campus community for both domestic and international students attending Towson University. Students living in Global Village interact with people from different cultures and countries every day, sharing personal stories in the lounge, discussing course work in the study zone, or making and sharing international dishes will friends and neighbors in the large, full kitchen.

Off-Campus Housing

Off-campus living is a good choice for international students who have learned a lot about American culture and want to become more independent and self-sufficient. Living off campus can help students gain more freedom, more living space and more privacy, and it's a common option for students who are in their third and fourth year at Towson.

Towson University operates several off campus shuttle bus routes that lead to most of the nearby off-campus apartments and residential areas. The Department of Housing and Residence Life provides many resources for international students to help with living off campus, including apartment listings, the off-campus housing list, and an online search service. The department also holds advising sessions to help students with off-campus living issues.
