[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m JHU class of 93. I was a social science (international relations) major. Nobody goes to Hopkins for the party scene, but like colleges everywhere there are parties to be found at least Thursday through the weekend. The premeds and the engineering students have a hard-core grind for four years from what I saw. Social science and humanities have much more varied college experiences. It’s an outstanding Poli sci/IR  program, the writing seminars program has a pretty outstanding reputation too. Disagree with statements above that it’s in a bad part of town. Baltimore has plenty of tough neighborhoods but campus for undergrads is not one of them. Charles Village where most all students live is great and reasonably lively. And I developed a real fondness for Baltimore in  my four years there. It’s  definitely not a school for everyone, but I am a somewhat artsy liberal type and enjoyed my time there, had plenty of interesting friends, went to plenty of parties etc. And I do believe that the student life is much more thoughtfully handled now by the school than it was when I was there so certainly worth a look.[/quote]

Agree with this and I am also international studies from the early 1990s.  I was in sorority and between Greeks and athletes, there is a decent social scene but also a lot of kids who are less into partying and more into studying.

There is a lot of hate on dcum for Hopkins from people who have never stepped on campus.  Personally think it has one of the. Iciest quasi-urban campuses in the country and Charles village is akin to DuPont Circle in terms of safety.[/quote]
