[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the undergrad  experience and atmosphere at JHU sucks.

—PhD from JHU who heard a lot from talked  the undergraduates I TA’d. [/quote]

You again?  Maybe let the people who actually went there speak for themselves.  I had a fantastic undergrad experience.[/quote]

I’ve never posted on this subject before. Don’t be so defensive. [/quote]

Really?  Someone posts the exact same line in every Hopkins thread, right down to I didn’t go there Undergrad  but was a TA. [/quote]

New poster, and I was a TA at Hopkins too ! I think there are just a lot of us -- because they use a ton of grad students to staff undergrad classes. I had a similar experience to the previous poster, in that my students seemed unhappy and the Hopkins undergrad experience struck me as crummy, bureaucratic, and cold in comparison with my own recent college experience at a different school. But I have since met recent grads who loved their time at Hopkins so maybe it has improved or maybe it's just a matter of being the right fit for the school.
