[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopkins yes, Wash U no. Nothing special about Wash U.[/quote] Wash U has lots of $$$ and the administration will spend tons of money to improve its departments and national standing. It's Ivy-equivalent but JHU isn't. The students are hyper-competitive, has no school spirit or whatsoever. Everyone who went to JHU hated the school, but not WashU. It's like the Princeton of the midwest and is situated in a much more pleasant area of STL. [/quote] Hopkins seems forever crippled by its old reputation as a place without any fun, which it did deserve in the past, but the school is changing. Substantial amounts have been poured into enhancing the undergraduate experience as well as the nearby Charles Village "college town." It's quite different from 20 years ago. And Homewood is a lovely campus and does abut some gorgeous neighborhoods. -- poster whose father was a Hopkins professor. [/quote]
