With that said, do any current or former students know how strong their study abroad program is? I heard Goucher requires that students study abroad during their 4-yrs.

Would this be a problem at Goucher? I don't remember there being very much in Towson near the Goucher campus - - and at the info session, the adcom talked up opportunities in downtown Baltimore (which she said was a 20 min drive, so probably close to an hour via public transit?). How difficult is it for Goucher students w/o cars to take advantage of service/internship opportunities in Baltimore? ]]> Goucher College foolishpleasure-134071 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/goucher-college/796970-community-service-internships.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/goucher-college/793134-applying-goucher-class-2014-a.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 22:35:59 GMT I'm applying ED to Goucher and was just curious on whether or not I should send my SAT score, seeing as it is optional. I have a 610 writing and then 560 reading and math...any suggestions? I read on a previous post that a Goucher tour guide said that Goucher scores are usually 570-630 is this true? And does this make me practically mid...or just look weaker than the other 75%? ]]> Goucher College hopeful878-134714 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/goucher-college/793134-applying-goucher-class-2014-a.html
