If The Transfer Fits...

As both a transfer and commuter student, I know how difficult it can be to feel a connection with Towson University.  Often it seems that everyone knows everyone else, and though that is impossible, one can easily find themselves lost among the sea of North Face jackets and Ugg boots.  Towson holds a commuter's breakfast on the first Tuesday of every month, however, it begins at 7:30am, and with nearly an hour drive, I haven't been able to find the motivation to go.  Having bacon and eggs with strangers is not enough to get me out of bed at 5:30am, as cynical as that may sound.

I think if Towson had more activities or perhaps even the same ones at different times, more people would be enticed to attend.  Also, the events should not be aimed solely at commuters, as they currently are, because this will not immerse them in life at Towson.  All students should be involved if any change is expected.  It is a weak bond if the only commonality the students share is that they drove several miles to be there.
