Johns Hopkins University

Pros: A lot of fulfilling experiences and fun
Cons: Equal amount of responsibility

I am currently a senior at Johns Hopkins University, and I have spent a majority of my time at Hopkins participating in the performing arts. Hopkins offers a lot of opportunities for its students, but understand that since most performing arts groups are...

Pros: Do what they need to to help you out
Cons: Not overly friendly to say the least

Introduction

Financial aid is an incredibly stressful process to go through. At Johns Hopkins, I must say that in general I was satisfied by the financial aid office, but I wouldn't give them too high marks. They weren't overly...

Pros: Fast, Efficient, Considerate
Cons: Not enough time to schedule interview.

My experience with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Admissions Office has been quite good. I think everything went smoothly for me because both the admissions office and I did our tasks in a timely and efficient manner.

I filled out my...

Pros: Great academic reputation, first-class faculty and pleasant campus
Cons: Competitive, socially dead and a non-enjoyable student life

I attended Johns Hopkins University in the academic year of 1995-1996. I am originally from Denver, Colorado at travelled almost 2000 miles to attend JHU. I attended public schools in Colorado my whole life before attending JHU as well. My major of...

Pros: lots of things to do
Cons: things can be difficult to find if you don't look for them

Originally I had put this as a comment to "Baltimore is Fun for a Year," but I feel the need to further defend Baltimore and Hopkins as an employee and part time student. I think the biggest problem with Baltimore is that there is no guide and...

Pros: Great education, intelligent peers, and highly regarded by the well educated.
Cons: Intense atmosphere, could have better social life, lacrosse is only division 1 sport.

I graduated from Hopkins with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in '94 and a M.S.E. in Computer Science in '95 and so I know what a Hopkins education may bring. Currently I work in the white hot business-to-business (B2B) industry, specifically as a...

Pros: Nice People
Cons: Not the most efficient. Not much aid!

I will be attending the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the fall, and thought I should tell a bit about my experience with the financial aid office.

My family filled out all the forms early and submitted them in a timely fashion. We...

Pros: The best school in the country
Cons: none

There are three major events at Hopkins which really add to the life of the campus. They are the Milton S. Eisenhower (MSE) Symposium, Hopkins Organization for Programming (HOP), and Spring Fair. These events all provide a sense of pride to the...

Pros: Rigorous academics, easy going social life
Cons: Very tough to get A's, no partying here.

Introduction

Going to Johns Hopkins was the best school I could have chosen ... but I am a certain type of person. There were certainly many at the school who were not satisfied. In fact, the school seems to be divided between people...

Pros: good atmosphere, clean
Cons: none

One of my biggest concerns about going to college was living in the dorms. At Hopkins, students live in dorms for two years. While it is required, most students enjoy the dorm life, especially because during your sophomore year, the dorm rooms are...

Pros: Clean and comfortable
Cons: the price; lack of space

Over the years, I have visited dorms at Dartmouth, Connecticut College, The University of Alaska, Wagner College and few more I am probably forgetting. Some of these places were absolute dumps! JHU, on the other hand, offers safe, clean and comfortable...

Pros: best school in country
Cons: none

If you look through the Epinions about the Johns Hopkins University, you will see that many of them demonstrate that people love this place. However, there are some reviews that try to convince you that this is the worst place on earth. These reviews...

Pros: a variety of sports
Cons: only LAX gets funding

That's all we hear. Lacrosse Lacrosse Lacrosse. I don't care about lacrosse. Give some of the other teams some recognition (and money) for once! I'm going to take this opportunity to get up on my little soapbox and let it all out for once. I'm a...

Pros: It is hopkins, it provides starch, proteins and essential vitamins and minerals
Cons: "Power Bars" taste better than what they serve, and "Power Bars" don't fail health inspections

The food at Hopkins in general is not much better then you standard high-school lunch-from-an-ice-cream-scoop affair. We all hope it is clean though. Freshman and Sophomores are required to purchase a meal plan that will give them 14 or 19 meals per...

Pros: Smaller School, solid academics
Cons: Cut-throat Pre-meds!

As a fourth year graduate student in biology at this venerable institution, I have had the opportunity to teach and interact with many undergraduates majoring in biology with plans to go on to medical school. Hopkins definitely has a well-deserved...
