Report Card

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Goucher provides an atmosphere for students to grow, learn, and expand their views on the world without being restricted or criticized. With an attentive and experienced faculty, freedom to design one’s major, endless leadership opportunities, and a stimulating series of lectures, discussions, and performances, the Goucher experience is one-of-a-kind. Goucher is also the first school in the country to require that all students complete a study abroad experience. Despite complaints on parking, public transportation, the social scene, and campus facilities, the majority of Goucher students have great overall experiences. The quality and variety of the academics, study abroad programs, and the close-knit community are among the contributing factors to their experiences.

Students who transferred or wish they did disliked the atmosphere of student apathy toward on-campus events, clubs, and athletics. They felt that Goucher’s small community was too small for them and that it didn't provide enough options when it came to both academic and social life. One difference between those who have a great overall experience and those who do not is that the first group knows what they want from Goucher and are willing to take initiative to achieve it. The College doesn’t create the college experience for you—you actually have to get involved on campus and be proactive about things that interest you to find your place within the Goucher community. Students actively involved on campus cite this supportive and open-minded community as the core of their positive experience.

They hardly do anything.

There is one "drug free" dorm building on campus, but if you don't live there, theres really no escaping it. I complained multiple times, and nothing was ever done. If you're like me and don't like to be around drugs/alcohol, you won't enjoy yourself much.

Not the best..

As far as safety, you can always see security guards all over campus. But I wouldn't say I actually felt safe. Someone broke into my room and stole one of our laptops while my roommates and I were sleeping. And I got back to my room once to see someone trying to pick my lock.

The health office can handle minor things, but there was one incident where my roommate fell and broke her arm and when I went to the health office for help, they simply told me to call an ambulance because they didn't have an x-ray machine. In my opinion, they should have sent someone over at least to make sure she was okay.

General Campus Weather

Lots of warm weather around campus. Usually holds out pretty well in the fall semester. Ocassional snowfall and cancellation of classes. Professors freak-out with inch of snow and can get off from class pretty easily even if it's only a few inches. Some bizarre weather lately though. Can be really warm one day and cold the next. Bring all sets of clothing. Can never tell these days...Damn global warming.
