It being in a major American city would generally be a plus point, but Baltimore is so crime-ridden and run down that it scares parents and students away.

It's known as a pre-med gindfest. Unlike rigorous Chicago, there's no aspect of "love of learning". It's all about getting into med school.

It's less of a university with a medical school attached and more of a medical school with a university attached. As a result, the undergraduate school isn't particularly accommodative or attentive to undergrads to the extent that similar schools are (Brown, Dartmouth, Duke, etc.)[/quote]

Hopkins is one of those schools where people who know nothing about it feel very comfortable posting totally inaccurate opinions.
Hopkins has a really pretty undergrad campus with active Greek life and strong division 1 and 3 sports.  Lots of student athletes.

Many of the undergraduate programs are highly ranked independent of their graduate schools, including international studies and writing seminars, many engineering majors and of course, the natural sciences.[/quote]
