[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYU: I loved it for grad school but I did not encourage my kids to apply for undergrad. Socially you have to find and form your own group, otherwise it can get pretty hard finding your people. [b]My DH thinks JHU is NOT at all a great undergrad experience. Expectations are different for GRAD school so good for GRAD school[/b].[/quote] This was my experience at Hopkins (I went to grad school on the medical campus but lived and studied on the undergraduate campus). The graduate programs (especially medicine, public health, etc) have students from many different backgrounds and from all over the world. The student bodies are interesting and diverse. In the medical school you have athletes, ballerinas, art majors, engineering majors, entrepreneurs, refugees, trust funders, and on and on. The undergraduates (in my observation)are primarily pre-med gunners. Study, study, study. Very similar kids--can't tell one from another. The library (MSE--Milton S. Eisenhower) was jam packed every Friday and Saturday night--no lie. It just seemed like a sweatshop of a university. My classmates who attended JHU undergrad were all sort of shell-shocked. It think getting into medical school or graduate school at Hopkins following undergrad at Hopkins is akin to the survival of the fittest. [/quote]
