We visited Goucher, near Baltimore. Beautiful campus! 1,450 undergraduate students, 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio, small class sizes. Friendly staff and students. Groups were yelling “Come to Goucher!” among other friendly things. One student swiped her meal plan card to pay for our lunch in the cafeteria! I thought the food was decent, certainly a variety, several healthy options. Goucher has three different eateries, one a deli type, one a health food type and the main cafeteria. Goucher includes a more than adequate laundry stipend with the living expenses so you don’t have to worry about having change!
It is an environmentally conscious school with barrels for compost throughout the campus that you can toss food in and spin. A “green” building is currently under construction.
Goucher is a notable school of the arts but students who are not majoring in the arts can take private lessons and classes in singing, an instrument, dance, and such. It is also an Equestrian school, non equestrian students can take horseback riding lessons if they wish! Anyone can apply to produce their own radio show, even if they are not majoring in Communications. There are several clubs including a Pirate Club (go GW!)! All of these features greatly appealed to Bridget.
All Goucher students are required to complete a three week study abroad program. There are around 22 such programs to choose from.
Our guide showed us his room, where his roommate was napping 
I think this school is well worth a visit!
