Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Goucher is small enough that you can walk to any point on campus within 15 minutes, so there is no need for a campus shuttle. The great thing about the College’s location in Towson is that everything you need is within walking distance. However, while this seems like a great convenience, walking to the grocery store or the bank is a challenge during the cold winter months and the torrential downpours in the spring. Besides calling a cab or catching a ride with a friend, there is no other reliable way to reach your local destination.

Public transportation in Towson is limited. The Collegetown Shuttle is great if you are taking classes at a local college or if you want to check out university parties without having a designated driver. Catching a ride to the airport is never a problem, as airport shuttles make frequent stops at Goucher before summer and winter break. However, if you want an off-campus job or a life outside of Goucher in general, bring your car. It’s the easiest and most reliable mode of transportation in Towson and Baltimore.

Collegtown Shuttle Is Kind of Ok

Collegetown shuttle is mildly dependable, but if you have a car, bring it. BUT DO NOT GET A PARKING TICKET, you can get ticketed for the dumbest reasons here.

College Town Shuttle

The College Town Shuttle is free and stops at all the Colleges in the area. If you want to get to the Inner Harbor, it shares a stop with the Charm City Circulator, also free. If that's not to your liking, you can rent a Smart Car.
