[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's considering getting recruited for track. We went to look at JHU campus, including their athletic facilities, and said facilities are in bad shape. It's a D3 school, yes, but still.. Hopkins shares their track stadium with Loyola Maryland, it's located outside of main campus, a 15-minute drive through a questionable area away, and the stadium itself is pretty sad-looking. Our MCPS high school track looks like Paris Olympic stadium in comparison.

FWIW, their soccer and lax stadiums are on main campus, so I guess it speaks to the school's priorities, in sports and otherwise

Just my 2 cents.

Oof good to know. My track kid was considering it but I definitely don't want him wandering in a bad neighborhood late at night. [/quote]

I wasn’t aware that Hopkins uses Loyola’s stadium for track, but the Loyola stadium is not in a bad area nor is the drive to the stadium from Hopkins through a bad area.  My kid’s private school sometimes rents time at the Loyola stadium  for winter practices, and our soccer club sometimes rents it out as well, so plenty of UMC families consider it acceptable, Your kid would be in no danger of ”wandering into a bad area.” [/quote]
