This a special place. It’s not for everyone. If you believe that everyone deserves to be who they are freely & safely as long as it is not harming anyone, & you thrive without someone watching over you then you might have a shot at feeling the magic that is being a Goddardite. I think Goddard is a great place for those with learning disabilities.

I've attended 3 universities in pursuit of my undergraduate degree. 1 was a Pennsylvania state school, the other a well respected PA private school. In short, Goddard College is unique because it's real. Trust the process.

This school claims to be progressive but stifles creativity. If you are extremely liberal, you will fit in perfectly at this school. However, if you have morals and values, this is not the place to be at. It's ironic that the faculty unionized themselves. How long has this school been around?
