[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The areas north (Roland Park) and west (Hampden) of the Homewood campus are OK. The areas east and south can be scary. More petty crime than violent crime. I think that student life at JHU can be contained within the Homewood campus. Public transportation in the city is abysmal. Having said that, I’d support my kids if either of them were seriously considering JHU for Peabody or a hard science field. [/quote] The area west of Hopkins is Roland Park, as noted, very safe. North are Guilford and Homewood, two of the pricier residential areas of the city. Loyola is a few blocks away in that direction, very safe. South and east of Hopkins is Charles village, more middle class than the others but far from high crime. If one goes about a mile east, the neighborhood is not good. Never had reason to go in that direction for the four years I spent at Hopkins or the decade plus I’ve lived in Baltimore as an adult. [/quote]
