Let me just say this: Goucher is great in the fact that it is a small, quiet campus. You make fast friends, and also the professor to class size ratio is small, so you begin to form a bond with your professors outside of the classroom environment, which is a very rare opportunity.

If you do think about going to Goucher, you may want to select a major that is more "practical." I was Communications major, I graduated in December of 2009, it's been nine months, and I still have not found a job. Goucher is a great school to learn, but is absolutely horrible at marketing their students for the work world. Now I have to go back to grad school in a completely different field, so that I may get that high-paying job with benefits I was promised after getting my bachelor's.

If you're unsure about going to grad school, or you don't want any part of that, try to pick a major you know you can get work in, especially with the job market the way it is. Believe me, if I had known that a Communications degree from a liberal arts school would be this useless in the real world, I would've either picked a different major or a different school.

On a positive note, you learn how to write good, efficient essays. I can write a 1,500 word paper without any problems, while an assignment like that was daunting when I was in high school. You will most certainly improve your studies at Goucher. And as I mentioned before, class sizes are small, usually about 18 students per class, compared to 300 or so per class at larger state schools. Your professors will get to know you better, and help you with the writing skills you need in order to survive college.
