Goddard College

Student Life

The Goddard learning experience is intended to be an integrated one. Consequently, given the size and orientation of the College and most of its students, Goddard does not have the co-curricular activities and athletic passions of typical undergraduate residential colleges. Our outdoor environment in an unspoiled portion of central Vermont allows wonderful outdoor activities in hiking, downhill and cross-country skiing and many individualistic activities, some of which are organized by the College's student life coordinators. Our commitment to a more just and sustainable world provides opportunities for community events, forums, radio programming (on the College's own renowned community radio), and other activities that in many educational settings might be fulfilled by "clubs." Finally, our campus is filled year-round with musical events that are related to Goddard's deserved reputation as a germinator of trends in contemporary musical innovation.
