Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although Goucher is highly concerned with diversity of race, economics, and politics, the majority of Goucher students is white, upper-middle-class liberals. Compared to other areas in Baltimore, though, Goucher does have some religious diversity due to the large Jewish population on campus. The student population is also diverse in terms of personality, geographic background, and sexuality.

Goucher does an excellent job of making sure people of all types feel welcome on campus. The importance of appreciating and accepting diversity is preached from every corner. There are regular diversity discussions on race, religion, and sexuality, and student minority clubs sponsor several cultural programs and events. There have been a few hate incidents in past years involving vandalism and derogatory comments about homosexuality and Judaism, and students were shocked and angered when these incidents came to light. Goucher students have no tolerance for discrimination and hate. Getting through each incident as a cohesive campus brings the community closer.

Somewhat Diverse

Most students are middle class/upper middle class students who are caucasian/jewish but Goucher is very accepting of those of different races and foreign students. There is also a great acceptance towards the LGBT community.

Not Very Diverse

In comparison to my high school, this is a completely white campus! Yes, there are some black people and a few Asian people, but the whites are the vast majority. There are times when it seems like 90% of the students are Jewish, too, which might not be too far off. People here are pretty accepting, except for the people who do the Jewish Hillel group. They'll give you weird looks if you try to eat in their dining hall. I guess it's only for Jewish people. Almost everyone on campus is liberal. As such a liberal school, students and professors are very accepting of different sexual orientations.
