Towson Dining - Good, Depending on What You're Looking for
The dining in the area is pretty good. There are lots of cheap options for college students, including a huge food court at the mall. Cafe Spice is great for reasonable Indian food off campus, especially their lunch buffet.

Go Gophers?
Coming from a very athletic high school, Goucher's sports kind of bum me out. The only people who care about student athletes are student athletes. The games are usually under-attended and even then we win, no one seems to notice. Last year, the Men's Lacrosse team won their conference for the first time in the schools history. The game that decided that was the most exciting athletic event Goucher has ever hosted. The stands were packed and for once it felt like I was at an actual school. Besides that, the facilities themselves are great. Large cardio room that is open until Midnight and a brand new weight room too.

Collegetown Shuttle!
Yes, we have a great shuttle system that runs all around Baltimore, but sometimes you want to go to Target (where it doesn't run to) or just go to Safeway (another place it doesn't head to). About 35% of the school owns a car, including freshmen, so it's never a problem to get a ride to the bus station or the supermarket.

Two Operating Systems
Every academic building has a computer lab, but the library is the only one that is open 24/7.
We have Macs and PCs that run both operating systems. So if you can only find a Mac and want a PC, you can run Windows on it. We get 500 printing points a semester. Print double sided and thats 1000 sheets of paper. The only problem is the printers are often out of ink and very busy.

Dorms Pretty Good
Freshmen dorms aren't actually that bad. Yes, some have cinderblock walls, but if you get into Sondheim, the substance free house, you get massive rooms and private bathrooms. Several of the best houses are female only. Guys want to get into an apartment or a suite in the T, although a single in Mary Fisher is also a good call.

Watch Out for Robo Cop
This isn't a dry campus so there is definitely drinking here. If you are 21, you can drink in your room as long as your roommates or anyone else there are the time is also 21. There are definitely drugs on campus if you go looking for them but they're not everywhere. Public Safety is in their office 24/7. If you have an underage party that gets too loud, they will probably come bust it.
