Goucher College Top Questions

As I mentioned above, one of the fantastic things about Goucher is how student-oriented the strong community is. Everyone is really supportive of one another. Goucher also gives a lot of freedom in the courses it offers, so students feel free to take whatever class may interest them, even if they aren't classes within their major. One of the most special things about Goucher College, though, is its Study Abroad requirement. It is the only school in the country to actually require students to study abroad, and it really makes sure that students develop cultural awareness.

Goucher is a small school, but it boasts some of the most incredible and interesting people I have ever met. Goucher's small size makes it easy to get involved, to stand out in your classes, and to make meaningful connections with people. It is also quite unique. The campus is a green, wooded paradise with dozens of deer running around, over nearly 300-acres -yet it is only 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore. I doubt there is any other school in the country that is just like it. The kids I went to high school with will never understand the incredible, personalized experience I have had here.

The Zombie Game. Essentially a massive game of tag, it's what sets this place apart from every other school. On a campus with almost nothing to do, this game goes on once a semester for 8-9 days. It involves nerf guns/tag and is a huge ammount of fun, i recommend it for every college.
