A+
The Arts Are More Important
I can't complain. that is why I came here. NO FOOTBALL TEAM! If we got one, I might actually consider leaving, and that is a huge statement to make because I am absolutely in love with Goucher. I give it an A+ because I think sports have their appropriate place. you can participate in them if you want to but if you don't want to you don't have to. I don't share the frustration athletes do here because I am an avid supporter of the arts. Yes, I might show up to a game, but I won't enjoy it as much. I will go the opera, or a play, or a concert in the GoHo. That is why I came here, because that is what I enjoy. Anyone here for athletics knew what it would be like, we are not a big sports school. I don't condemn them or thinks sports are useless, I used to be an athlete myself. I think it's valuable, I know we need them on campus, I know I should probably support them more. Sports just aren't my thing. I'm here to be myself, be with the arts. I respect athletes. I wish they didn't seem so isolated from everyone else. My friends who are athletes I rarely see and I wish I saw them more. I think Goucher has a unique identity. I think we stay true to that in the way we see students go for what they love, there are just more students here who consider the Arts to be more important and that is OK
