College Prowler Take
The facilities on campus are well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The gorgeous landscape and architecture are a pride of Goucher. Each building added to campus is carefully designed to match the existing buildings: stone exteriors, beautiful angles, and tall windows. On occasion, some buildings feel too small for the growing student population. Pearlstone Student Center is the most widely used building and is often crammed with students. Also, Stimson Dining hall, although recently renovated, is still too crowded during mealtimes. If you don’t arrive exactly at the start of each meal, you may be without silverware—or a seat. The lines in Pearlstone Café are horrendous during meals because the serving area is not large enough to accommodate more than about 10 students at a time. Once through the lines, students may have to take their meal elsewhere because there are only a few tables. Goucher has been expanding its workout center and continues to update it. Even though Goucher is not known for its athletics, students still want a place to work out with a variety of equipment and enough of it to go around. While it took a few years for any improvements to be made, Goucher finally addressed the growing needs of its diverse student body. Overall, the College is good at keeping its facilities well maintained and performing consistently. Students Speak Out

The SRC (the gym) is great. It just got new treadmills and elliptical machines that have TVs attached with headphone jacks—I enjoy them. There's a sauna that not many people know about, so it's almost always open and an indoor pool that is open during the day. There are two indoor basketball courts and one outdoor one—you can rent equipment from the SRC; you just give them your OneCard. There are four racquetball courts that are new and nice, outdoor tennis courts that are open as long as the tennis team isn't practicing on them, and a few practice fields where the Frisbee, lacrosse, and soccer teams practice. The library is really great. The library is open 24/7, which is SO great.

The library is brand new, and so is the student center. The athletic facilities just got renovated and the new cardio room is awesome. The dance studios are in great shape with a new studio on the way. The horseback riding facility has plans for a renovation in the near future. For now, the barns are in good shape.

The athletic facilities are very usable. A cardio room was installed that includes treadmills, stationary bicycles, and ellipticals. The library has designated quiet rooms that are useful for studying. It also has rooms that have couches and tables, which are useful for group meetings, projects, and studies. All facilities are kept clean and accessible.

FactsWhat To Do on Campus
Goucher students have plenty of facilities and on-campus events to keep them occupied. Students can check out campus theater productions in Mildred Dunnock Theatre, student-choreographed dance performances in Todd Dance Studio, and orchestral or vocal performances in Haebler Chapel or Merrick Lecture Hall. For the less artistically inclined, students can work out in the gym, swim in the pool, or catch a game. Each night, Goucher’s on-campus coffeehouse, the Gopher Hole, draws in a wide variety of students. With events ranging from live music to game shows to film screenings to poetry readings, the Gopher Hole has something for everyone.
Favorite Things To Do
In the spring and early fall, you can catch hoards of students sunbathing, playing beach volleyball, or hanging out on the grassy residential quad. Student organization sponsored activities include movie showings, concerts with off and on-campus bands, lectures, cooking competitions, and a cappella performances. Between school and student sponsored activities, there are often too many interesting things to do.
Movie Theater on Campus
- None, but there are occasional film screenings in the Gopher Hole, Van Meter B-10, and Kelly Lecture Hall.
Coffeehouse on Campus
