Any visitor to Goucher College immediately perceives that this is not an average college campus. Despite being a mere eight miles from downtown Baltimore, Goucher’s elegant stone-gate entrance gives way to a beautiful wooded enclave, complete with a tranquil pond, wandering geese, well-landscaped grounds, and numerous hiking trails. This is a place that nourishes the mind, body, and soul. In the book Colleges That Change Lives, Goucher is described as "one of the best kept secrets of the top-quality coed colleges."
