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. Filter:

Goucher College's Student Facilities Are Great
A
All facilites are great. The Student Recreation Center contains a brand spankin' new weight room and dance studio, as well as a new turf athletic field. The Athenaeum was just completed in 2009 and it contains an awesome new library and computer room, as well as classrooms, the school radio station, a huge amphitheatre-style presentation forum, group study rooms and Alice's Restaurant, a cafe open for breakfast, lunch, and late-night snacks and coffee. Classroom buildings are always clean and have all the resources and materials you will need. Dorms are typically clean and there are pretty recently built residence halls with suite-style housing that are very modern and comfortable. Always quiet, comfortable places to work and study, excercise, and just hang out! |

Public Safety
A
I always feel safe on Goucher's campus. Public Safety is always accessible by phone and nearby. Campus is small and really comfortable, hanging out in friends' dorm rooms for some small, casual parties is the typical social scene on campus, and Public Safety will keep gatherings under control so keep it down. The student population is typically very friendly and respectful, but just use common sense when you're out at night and you might want to keep your doors locked but it's not even totally necessary. |
