<p>My son decided this weekend to be a Gopher! Very excited for him!</p>
<p>My daughter will be headed there also…I think it will be a good place for her.</p>
<p>Very good choice! Goucher lives up to every good thing you have heard about it.</p>
<p>a really lovely school! my daughter graduated from there in 2012. generally, a great experience. supportive , involved faculty, excellent instruction, great friends!</p>
<p>That’s great to hear!! :)</p>
<p>I’m curious how the first year is working out… Goucher is currently my DD’s top choice. We liked the school but have concerns about financial aid.</p>
<p>Hi Charleysmom,</p>
<p>My son just finished his first semester and it went very well. Goucher is a wonderful college and he is really happy with his choice. It has been a great fit for him. If you have any specific questions, I would be happy to answer them here, or you can PM me if you prefer.</p>
<p>Shulamit - IIRC, your son was in the top quintile (if not the top 5-10%) of the admitted class, yes?</p>
<p>ExpatCanuck, I have no real way to know his standing in the admitted class, but he was pretty high in his scores/grades and most likely is in the top 5%.</p>
