[quote=Anonymous]Actually, JHU undergrad can be an excellent place for a humanities student who may be PhD-bound. Like University of Chicago, Hopkins is a grad-oriented institution. But scale is small enough that a bright academically-oriented undergrad has real access to faculty members, grad seminars, etc. Most of the undergrads aren't at JHU for that reason, which makes the kids who find this kind of opportunity exciting stand out all the more. I agree that too-close-to-home is one reason lots of local kids don't consider Hopkins. Safety/neighborhood isn't a problem. Undergrad culture might be. Baltimore can be a more fun/interesting city than DC, depending on your kid's tastes and/or comfort level with city buses, cabs, and light rail. (Lots of the fun stuff isn't within walking distance of campus.)[/quote]
