[quote=Anonymous]I'm the Hopkins alum from above.  How many of you have actually lived there or do you think that one visit for a few hours actually tells you anything?  You're so superficial.  I lived in the Hopkins area for 10 years through college and then worked at the medical center for 5 years.  Yes, the area around the medical center is a bit shady and I would only go there during the day.  But the area around the undergrad campus is fine.  Charles Village is the 8 or so blocks east of campus and is fine.  And the neighborhood north of campus going up to Roland Park is fine.  Hamden to the west is only shady if you consider blue collar neighborhoods shady, but then some of you probably do.

I loved going to Hopkins as did the majority of my friends.  It's a premier institution of higher learning with a small college feel.  Unlike most of the other premier schools where you are one of 40K or 50K students on campus, here you're one of about 15K-20K students on campus.  My best friends in the world are the gang that I met in my college years there and we are all proud of the education that we received there.[/quote]
