[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too close to home and the culture may seem too intense...[/quote] Can someone compare it to UChicago? I feel as though people avoid JHU because it's "intense" and because the neighborhood is unsafe, and yet there is so much Chicago love in DC, and I think people would say the same things about Chicago. Are they intense in different ways? Are the neighborhoods substantially different?[/quote] Hopkins undergrad is in North Baltimore, surrounded by one middle class and two wealthy neighborhoods. For a irban school, it is quite safe. Always amuses me that posters here talk about how dangerous it is — UVA has had a number of murders over the past decade, Hopkins has not. [/quote] You only have to drive a block or so from campus to see drug addicts staggering around. If you're ok with your kids being around that, fine, you do you.[/quote]
