[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to grad school at Hopkins and lived near Homewood for 6 years.  Hopkins is perfectly safe if you're smart and aren't using or dealing drugs.  The violent crime is 99.9% within the drug community.  Petty theft is common. If you leave something of value visible in your car, it will likely be broken into and stolen.  In 6 years i probably replaced 3 car windows and one door lock. I was also young and not always careful (i.e. i left things in view in my rush to get to class, etc).

The limitations of Baltimore are more that it's a small, grimy city with a lot of blight and poverty.  But it does haves some very good restaurants, MLB, NFL, a world-renowned symphony, one or two good theaters for plays, a few concert venues where most artists will come when touring, easy access to a major airport.  But it's not super cosmopolitan.  That said, it was more than enough to have a high quality of life in my 20s.  I always had something to do, I met my husband and a great group of friends and I grew to really love the culture and the people. [/quote]
