[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopkins does not have 17000 grad students.  It has 8,500, only 2000 of which are on the undergrad campus.  There are roughly 6300 undergraduates at the Homewood campus, so they clearly dominate the campus.  Some of you are allergic to facts.  People pursuing online executive certificate programs are not graduate students nor are they on a campus.[/quote]
You are wrong on so many levels. Presumably, you can read: 24000 grad students. The 17k is without the certificate programs. 
Here’s the cite: https://oira.jhu.edu/graduate-enrollment-and-degrees/

Incidentally, grad enrollment has increased 50% the last 10 years…[/quote]

There are still only 2000 graduate students at Homewood, Hopkins may count online executive program students as “graduate” students, but they still are not stepping foot on a campus.[/quote]
No, there are not. Give a cite or go away. You keep repeating the same number with no cite. Your claim of 2/24k grad students at Homewood is off by several thousand. You said there were only 8,500 grad students and were shown there are 24k. Off by a magnitude of 3x. Cite was provided. Put up or shut up.[/quote]

DP who works at Hopkins. Please don’t send your kids here if you believe what you are saying. But for others whom you are trying to convince, the Homewood campus is made up of two main schools, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering. JHU has many other campuses, where the med school, public health school, and SAIS, and many others call home. SAIS is not even in Baltimore, but is in DC. As for The real undergrad Homewood campus, the Krieger school of Arts and Sciences has fewer than 1000 full time grad students. Krieger does offer some online programs so most of the part time students and some of the full time students fall under the not-really-around status. But most (not all) of the 1000 full time students are real and around on campus. The engineering school claims a lot more grad students, but they offer A LOT of extremely popular online masters degrees so this figure does not reveal the true number of bodies on campus, I would estimate as similar to the Krieger population. So the PP’s figure of 2000, while probably not exact, is way more correct than your 17k figure, which would be plainly ridiculous to anyone who has actually set foot on our campus.[/quote]

DP here - Thank you for taking the time to respond in such a helpful manner.  I don't know why the PP has some kind of ax to grind.  Also, JHU has a much larger campus than Georgetown and generally feels more spread out.  PP - it sounds like you should actually visit the campus - it is beautiful with lots of grassy areas where you can "touch grass."  Also, "put up and shut up" is not a nice way to talk to people, even if you are on an anonymous board.[/quote]
