[quote=Anonymous]You all are a bunch of idiots.  Basically, Hopkins gets knocked for not being 'fun'??  Lol, ummm ok.

Hopkins isn't popular because it is a hard school.  It is actually a very hard school where grades aren't inflated like Harvard. The reason JHU isn't 'fun' is because your kids actually have to go study, and they have to study a lot.  At least you get what you pay for, which is an education, not a party scene.

Have bay of you even ever been near Homewood?  It is totally fine.  The area around the campus and Charles Village have grown big time.  Hampden is walkable and has many bars and restaurants.  Peabody heights is a brewery walkable from campus.  The whole Moint Vernon area has multiple options and is accessible by shuttle.  The area 23rd street now has a string of bars, some of which have been named or of the top 50 bars in all of America.  Clavel also has some of the best Mexican food in the entire state of MD.

I mean, sure, there's crime just like every other school that's in a big city.  As if UPenn is in some nice location?  ITT: a bunch of scared suburban white people who've probably only passed through Baltimore only to go to an Oriole's game once or briefly the IH.  Baltimore is a fine city that has a lot of hidden gems.  It punches well above its weight for food and bars.  Baltimore has way, wayyyyyy better bars and restaurants than DC. [/quote]
