Around Town

Baltimore is only 30 minutes away and you can get there for free on the collegetown shuttle. If you can't find anything to do, you really aren't trying hard enough.

Nothing really.

Hang out with friends in dorm rooms, common rooms, in the woods, on the grass. Go to the huge Towson mall, take the bus to Hunt Valley or Baltimore.

If you're looking forward to huge frat parties or concerts by top bands, then Goucher is not the school for you. People who want to party go off campus or have small parties in their rooms. The activities council plans several activities on weekends or week nights, most of which are poorly attended, with the exception of certain dances or activities held in conjunction with another special event or holiday. Luckily, with plenty of transportation options, several larger schools around, and endless opportunities for fun in and around Baltimore, there's always something inexpensive and fun to do on a day or evening off. In my experience, as long as you get involved in a number of clubs or activities in addition to your academics, you will have very little time to be bored, and will enjoy being on campus working and or playing with classmates, teammates, and friends.

Go to the Vietnamese restaurant in Towson. Go to the Gopher Hole. A trip to Fells point and into D.C. is good. Baltimore has a great music scene.

There was a huge concert hall and open field, so lots of people were playing frisbee, sun bathing, blasting music, and having a good ol' time.

I went into Baltimore when I was there and had a wonderful time. The city was full of life I actually went to the Walter's Art Museum while there and walked around that area for a while. They had Christmas lights on the streets, a statue of George Washington, and a huge and beautiful Cathedral just in that little area. I drove by the harbor area where ships were docked, murals adorned the walls by the road, and a monument of where Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner was. I've heard from multiple people that Baltimore is a wonderful place to be and that it is always exciting. From my brief visit there I would have to agree. Plus just around the Goucher campus there are plenty of hiking trails, they even have a hiking club.

The mall is in walking distance, or you could rent a zipcar and bring your friends somewhere. You can also get on the Collegetown Shuttle and visit somewhere in Baltimore, but from personal experience it's nicer just to stay on campus with friends.

hang out with friends, go to the movies... go out to eat.
