As a current student here, let me just warn anyone who approach: Don't you dare do it. Welcome to the second most dangerous city in the country, and doped up students with the most fearsome pre-prefessionalism you can imagine. Be prepared for grade-deflation, uncaring, bored students, and an aversion to culture and arts like you've never seen. Get out your books and get out your adderall, because this is the most punishing waste of money you'll ever make the mistake of investing.
lol, Baltimore is not bad. You haven't been to the bad neighborhoods yet have you. I would say that Baltimore is sketch and poor, but most of the ppl out there are genuinely nice ppl who are living in poverty, working day to day to support their families so that they can go to school.
Johns Hopkins is the first research university in the US and was initially a graduate oriented university (University of Chicago was modeled after JHU, and UChicago was also a graduate oriented university)...
@tbmc2 Yeah, at a bank-breaking $55,390 for the upcoming school year, you ought to try Manhattan Christian College in Manhattan, KS. The tuition is only about $450 or so per credit-hour for any student no matter where they're from.
Or live in Kansas for a year and try K-State, also in Manhattan. The In-State tuition rate is only ~$220/credit-hour this upcoming year, too.

This is perhaps the most stingy university in the whole world. Perhaps the only school in the world that actively hates its students. Money grubbing and mean.
hopkins is such a great school... i have a few cousins who went here from 2003-2007 and i visited frequently b/c i live like an hours drive. the problem is baltimore is a little sketchy, but its improving
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(SORRY BOUT SPAM THIS REALLY FREAKS ME)
Some schools that take greater aims to make their campus interesting include Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, UPenn, UVA...all similar schools in reputation to Hopkins.
have you ever even been to homewood? It is as peaceful as it gets. UPenn is in the ghetto, as numeorus departments of the school are in bad neighborhoods. Not to knock on Carnegie Mellon, but out of the schools you listed that is the most sub-par. Hopkins reputation is one of the most recognizable and admired in the nation. Especially its medicine department.

Let me just warn potential students (undergraduate or graduate) NOT TO GO to JHU.
Yes all schools have their share of unhappy students, but the schools I mentioned above take much greater strides to make their campus fun and interesting. And Baltimore is an absolute hell hole...a mere 3 blocks from your campus will be an urban ghetto.
Homewood for undergrad is safe and in the best area of Baltimore city--maybe too quiet. the med school is in the sketchy part but that is as it should be so the med school residents and interns can work with a diverse population.
This vid wuz great. Many of my friends are not familiar with the Hopkins campus, which is absolutely beautiful. Now they can see that the envrionment really is different from the rest of Baltimore.

Wonderfully uninformative and offensively unimaginatiiive. We had some really intelligent and creative people at the Hop when I was an undergrad. Is this the same school???
Thanks, Andy, for producing and posting this video! I am a delighted alum and now help interview prospective students and represent Hopkins at college fairs. I'll keep this reference in mind!
Good video, it really captures the beauty of the campus. I can't believe how quiet it makes the place look though. Maybe this was filmed during the summer because I've rarely seen Homewood this quiet in my time here.
To anyone thinking of coming to JHU, it's an incredible school and I had 2 fantastic years here after transferring from another university. The social scene is exactly what you make of it. There are loads of other schools near by and Baltimore has a lot to offer students.
Majority is pre-med. Social life is very dependent on what and who you are. For international students, honestly, its not great because the community's small. Then again, it does force us to integrate with the americans, at least try. For non-international, its not too bad, but you really need to try to find a balance. The classes are tough, requirements are plenty, the education's exceptionally rigorous.
The campus is boring. It is the least lively campus I have ever visited. I have been to this place four times to see friends, throughout the year....there really isn't much to do on campus.
If I can't step on the crest then I cant go their....4 years man!!
