Goucher College


http://www.goucher.edu/
Goucher is a liberal arts college in Towson, just outside of Baltimore and very easy to reach via I-695. Its entrance reminds me of a corporate headquarters with the parklike setting and a long winding driveway.
Almost all of the buildings are in the same style and covered in light granite.
Goucher makes the SAT/ACT optional. SAT subject tests are not required but desirable in subjects that you ahve identified as strengths. Students whose first language is not English need the TOEFL.
Non-binding early action deadline is December 1 with notification by February 1. Regular decision deadline is February 1, notification by April 1. In both cases, you need to respond by May 1.
Goucher is in the lsit of "Colleges that Change Lives". It is proud to offer many interdisciplinary courses of study.

Goucher is very close to downtown Towson which has nice stores and a mall. You can also take a zipcar to go to Baltimore. If you plan to visit Johns Hopkins right after Goucher, go back to I-695 and take I-83. Driving through city streets directly will take a looooong time and you get to see the run-down neighborhoods of this part of Baltimore. I did it twice and got lost only once.
