[quote=Anonymous]We visited and seriously considered hopkins. Kid wanted medium size school, in/near a city, with a campus. School also had great academic fit (kid wanted IR). School is well funded and built a new student center. School offered ed1 and ed2 and is accessible via amtrak. BUT... the social scene is apparently very limited. We did a lot of digging on this topic. A small core group and athletes go out but most others do not. Also, the campus is lovely and feels very safe, but the surrounding area is super sketchy. We live in a city so we are used to crime, homeless, etc but there isn't much beyond campus (limited food, coffee shops, etc), and venturing a few blocks off campus, the area looks pretty bad. I personally liked hopkins and think its great for the right kid. My kid doesnt mind intense academics, but wanted a more social school. Ended up at penn and is happy. Philly also has issues but there is so much more to do there vs Baltimore. [/quote]
