My daughter had Goucher on her list and we had a nice visit earlier this year.

Positives:
Good (but not great) merit aid
We met some wonderful, caring teachers
Students seemed very happy
Study abroad opportunities
Flexible programs / customization
Nice, walkable campus

Negatives – these were personal to my d, you might feel otherwise
Size - it was just a little bit too small for my d (but again, could be perfect for you)
Location - Too suburban for my “city girl,” who wanted a traditional campus in a walkable city. We heard reports of great bus service, but she just couldn’t shake her anti-suburban feelings (e.g. you can walk to a mall, but that’s not the traditional “walking city” she was looking for).
