In a post on another college’s board, a parent lamented the fact that his/her son was unable to participate in off-campus community service opportunities and school year internships because none of those opportunities was within walking distance of the campus (and the town had no public transit).

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?
