Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There are great opportunities for eating off campus in Towson and Baltimore. A plaza about a mile away from campus offers a Starbucks, a high-end organic food store called Fresh Market, the Razorbacks pub, and a cheap, delicious pizza place called Pasta Mista. Across the street, there's a P.F. Chang's, TGI Friday's, The Cheesecake Factory, and Stoney River, a restaurant that specializes in steak. The Collegetown Shuttle ride into Towson is easy and quick, and gives students access to a variety of cuisines. For a special occasion, go to The Melting Pot. For happy hour, go to Bahama Breeze. The most popular places are Towson Best Restaurant LLC, which offers Chinese, and Thai One On, which has a friendly staff, scrumptious dishes, and a great reputation for sake bombs. There's also a new kabob restaurant right next door to a place that serves crepes!

The Towson Diner is also nearby and open 24 hours a day. It's popular, but a lot of students consider it overpriced. The trip into Baltimore is longer, but it has great restaurants. For Mexican, go to Holy Frijoles. For bar food, explore Fell's Point. For hot dog stands or seafood, go to the Inner Harbor. Goucher students often make a fun night of going out to dinner with friends and are never without delicious options.

Great!

Love the off-campus dining. Towson has many different options and a great atmosphere. At best, Baltimore is so close and easy to get to and has even more options.

Towson Dining

There are plenty of affordable restaurants nearby and many of them accept our schools "one card" which is convenient. There are 8 colleges within a ten mile radius so many places are very college friendly and the food is reasonably priced.

Towson Dining

There are many eateries a short walk or drive away from campus from the common pizza places, Chinese take-out (beware of these; many are pretty terrible), and fast food joints to wonderful foreign cuisine. Several reasonably priced Indian restaurants are located just off the Towson Circle (maybe a ten minute walk from campus), as is a wonderful Vietnamese pho restaurant. PF Changs and The Cheesecake Factory are right across the street at the mall where you can also find your typical food-court. Many places near campus have even paired with Goucher to allow students to use "Gopher Bucks" (money that has been put into their student accounts, accessible through the student's ID card). And if none of this suits your fancy, there is a Fresh Market, Safeway, and Trader Joe's a five to fifteen minute walk away (depending on the store).
