[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Johns Hopkins University.  It doesn't get a lot of love here on DCUM but it is a great school and every kid I know who has gone there has loved it.[/quote]

If you don't want to go to GU because it is too close, JHU isn't going to solve that.[/quote]

Maybe, maybe not.  [b]45 min to an hour away is a meaningful difference from around the corner[/b].[/quote]

+1  It certainly means you won't randomly run into mom and dad while you're out doing a Target run because you need clean socks.  Besides strong academics and a world-class medical school, Hopkins has some great things going for it and a 1-2 hour proximity, depending on where you live in the DMV, is one of them.

The kid in our NoVa neighborhood catches the train to Union Station once every 2-3 weeks and meets his dad for lunch.  Then he trains it back to school with a full belly and a fresh c-note in his wallet.  That seems like almost a perfect distance to me.

Anyway for some reason Hopkins doesn't get a lot of love here on DCUM but it is a great school and has world-wide name recognition because of the medical school.  That certainly beats the world-wide [i]lack[/i] of name recognition for some of our state schools, including my highly ranked state school and alma mater.[/quote]
