After high school, West looked to play college football, but his low academic qualifications and test scores limited his opportunities. In order to try and fulfill his dreams of playing college football, West chose to attend Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Virginia.{{Cite web |last=Cottrell |first=Jay |date=January 2, 2014 |title=Baltimore`s Own Terrance West Talks About His Journey To Towson |url=https://www.wbal.com/article/104665/3/baltimores-own-terrance-west-talks-about-his-journey-to-towson |access-date=February 26, 2023 |website=WBAL |language=en |archive-date=February 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230226044541/https://www.wbal.com/article/104665/3/baltimores-own-terrance-west-talks-about-his-journey-to-towson |url-status=live }} After playing for one year, he left because of the distance between him and his family. West's time at Fork Union Military Academy left him with no scholarship offers.

After prep school, West had to sit out a season due to NCAA rules and looked for a school that would accept him as a transfer student. During this time, he sold shoes at a Jimmy Jazz clothing store to support his young son.{{Cite web |last=Romanell |first=Marco |date=May 7, 2014 |title=Terrance West’s journey from retail salesman to NFL draft pick |url=https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/community/terrance-wests-journey-from-retail-salesman-to-nfl-draft-pick/ |access-date=February 26, 2023 |website=Baltimore Magazine |language=en-US |archive-date=May 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220523032901/https://www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/community/terrance-wests-journey-from-retail-salesman-to-nfl-draft-pick/ |url-status=live }}
West looked to play football at Clemson University, but he was not qualified due to low SAT scores. He was also recruited by University of Maryland, but the team's interest faded after the hiring of Randy Edsall. A paperwork error led to West missing yet another chance at playing college ball, this time for Morgan State University. After getting in contact with head coach Rob Ambrose and learning of the interest the team had in him, West eventually chose to attend Towson University.
College career
At Towson, West had a record-breaking season in 2011 as a true freshman. The running back helped lead Towson to a 9–2 regular season, their first Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Championship, and a playoff berth, all while rushing for a Towson freshman record 1,294 yards and 29 touchdowns.{{Cite web |title=2011 Regular Season Towson Tigers |url=https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/towson-tigers-team-game-log?season=2011 |access-date=March 20, 2018 |website=FOX Sports |language=en-US |archive-date=March 21, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180321063237/https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/towson-tigers-team-game-log?season=2011 |url-status=live }} In the offseason, West would be selected as the first ever winner of the Jerry Rice Award as the top freshman in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).{{Cite web |date=March 27, 2015 |title=Towson's Terrance West wins inaugural Jerry Rice Award |url=https://www.foxnews.com/sports/towsons-terrance-west-wins-inaugural-jerry-rice-award |access-date=February 26, 2023 |website=FOX News |language=en-US |archive-date=April 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190413140312/https://www.foxnews.com/sports/towsons-terrance-west-wins-inaugural-jerry-rice-award |url-status=live }}
West's sophomore season in 2012 saw a decline in personal statistics, coupled with a decline in wins for the team. He ran for 243 less yards and 15 fewer touchdowns than the season prior and the Tigers went 7–4, missing the playoffs.{{Cite web |title=2012 Regular Season Towson Tigers |url=https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/towson-tigers-team-game-log?season=2012 |access-date=March 20, 2018 |website=FOX Sports |language=en-US |archive-date=January 6, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190106010545/https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/towson-tigers-team-game-log?season=2012 |url-status=live }} West had repeated behavioral issues during the season, most notably prior to the home game against eventual CAA Champion Old Dominion. West and Ambrose had a verbal altercation before the game which resulted in West not playing later that night. West walked off the sideline during the third quarter and threatened to quit the team via social media the next day, only to rejoin the team the next week.
In 2013, West had a resurgent junior season that would see more records fall. Through 16 games, he amassed 2,509 yards and 41 touchdowns (Towson University and NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) records) on 413 carries. His efforts helped lead the Tigers to a 10–2 record, including the programs first win over a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponent and the school's second ever FCS playoffs appearance.{{Cite web |title=2013 Regular Season Towson Tigers |url=https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/towson-tigers-team-game-log?season=2013 |access-date=March 20, 2018 |website=FOX Sports |language=en-US |archive-date=March 21, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180321063140/https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/towson-tigers-team-game-log?season=2013 |url-status=live }} He was a finalist for the 2013 Walter Payton Award, finishing 3rd in the voting.{{Cite web |title=Football Championship Subdivision |url=http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/misc/2013payton_votesXXX.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141118182625/http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2%2Fmisc%2F2013payton_votesXXX.htm |archive-date=November 18, 2014 |website=The Sports Network }} West also played a major role in the Tigers' playoff wins at Eastern Illinois University and Eastern Washington University.
