[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both great colleges but completely different.

Duke is suburban with a large campus and is D1 athletics

JHU has a very nice campus but its very small and the surrounding area is UChicago-tier, think planet of the apes, also its D3 which completely changes the campus social vibe

Duke has smart students but are more "preppy" and feels like a lot of northeast kids transplanted into the south and the D1 sports are a big thing

JHU has equally smart students but are more academic and the D3 athletics is more of a social scene thing than the big time sports that you will find at Duke

JHU was a school that most academically focused students and their families will like but will invariably go to can they rationalize the safety risks, out of the T20 schools, UChicago and JHU are distinguished by their third world surrounding areas, Columbia is fast approaching this too and likely will not change until another Giuliani or Bloomberg is mayor (the current mayor seems like a nice guy but just as bad as the last mayor despite)

Hopkins has d1 men’s and women’s lacrosse.  Hopkins is in semi suburban North Baltimore.[/quote]

Yes, but D1 lacrosse is nothing compared to D1 football or basketball.  A single home football or basketball game at Duke probably generates more $s than all of Hopkins sports combined and accumulated over a 10 year period and often subsidizes the other men's and women's programs.

D1 lacrosse is a niche sport, its more a club compared to football or basketball, especially at Duke.

JHU campus itself is very nice, among the better small campuses.  But to call the surrounding area suburban is very misleading, the immediate surrounding area is at best characterized as sketchy, walk a few blocks and you are in third world war zone conditions.
