<p>Not a Goucher student, but the mom of one. My d chose Goucher over several higher rated schools. She liked the strength of the dance program paired with support for double majoring. She loves that the student body tends to be welcoming and non-cliquey. She and her friends are serious students (she’s taking 17.5 credit hours while auditing 3 additional dance courses). Her 2nd major, Int’l Studies, paired with her experiences in the Int’l Scholars program have kept her really busy, but she has loved everything except how busy she’s made herself.
She takes the free college town shuttle into Baltimore for fun. But she also attends and supports the various lectures, theater, and music performances on campus as well.
It’s small. She does sometimes tire of seeing the same people over and over, but she will study abroad and may find the time to cross-register at one of the other colleges in the area.
My daughter (like Gweeta’s son) liked it right away.
I really have nothing but good things to say about her experience there.</p>
