[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke is great for economics, has a great alum network, and is much safer than Baltimore. I wouldn't want my daughter in Baltimore where Hopkins is located.[/quote]

The Hopkins undergrad campus is in Charles Village.  Your complaint might have validity for the medical school in East Baltimore, but not for the undergrad campus.  Sounds like you’ve never been there.[/quote]

The campus (which is boring) is a tiny  enclave in an awful city.  Contrast to Yale for example.  New Haven is not a great city, but the Yale campus is sprawling and beautiful and vibrant and dominates the city.  The JHU undergrad campus may as well be an office park, there's just not much to it.

Hopkin’s campus is 140 acres.  For some reason, people with little familiarity with the school love to pretend they know stuff.[/quote]

Agree - it is a lovely campus surrounded by mostly nice neighborhoods.  I was there in the 90s and liked campus then, couldn't believe when I went back how much nicer it has gotten. I grew up in small town New England, had zero city smarts when I sent to JHU.  It wasn't too hard to learn the ropes on how to stay safe, walk in groups, use the campus shuttle system etc.[/quote]
