New Students

Welcome to the Goucher College community. Though we're sure you're going to find our campus a friendly place that's pretty easy to get to know and get involved in, we also know how daunting the prospect of heading out to college can be, especially if you're doing it for the first time. It isn't easy to leave your family, friends, and home behind - even as you begin a whole new chapter in your life as you make new friends, see and do and learn new things, and make a new home-away-from-home here at Goucher.

We want to help make sure you have everything you need to make this transition as smoothly as possible and get the most out of this exciting time of your life. On this page, you'll find a compendium of information about what you can expect to find when you arrive at Goucher. Use it to:

• Learn about the new student orientation sessions and the course-selection process.
• Check out this year's summer reading selection.
• Get ready for your big move into the residence halls.
• See what fun and excitement lies just outside the campus gates in Towson, Baltimore, and beyond.
