Goucher prepares students for 21st-century careers and is well-regarded in the U.S. as one of the country's best liberal arts colleges.
HOUSING
ISEP Exchange benefits include housing provided in the on-campus residence halls, which are centrally located and just a short walk away from all of Goucher's academic classrooms. Each room is double-occupancy and fully furnished, including a bed, dresser, and more for each student.
Housing is available for breaks during the semester.
MEALS
ISEP students are provided with a meal plan that provides 19 meals a week in Goucher's on-campus dining facility. With selections ranging from Mongolian stir fry to burgers hot off the grill, ISEP students will have variety and quality at their fingertips.

The dining hall will close during long vacation periods: Thanksgiving, Winter, and Spring Breaks. Students will receive a stipend of $20 per day to cover meal costs, and students may use their residence hall kitchens to cook their own meals or they may eat at a restaurant.
