The curriculum offered at Johns Hopkins University is excellent no matter what major you choose to pursue. The professors are generally approachable and they know their stuff, though some of the mathematics profs might not be able to speak english. There are so many research opportunities and the Medical school is just down the road, so you will learn a lot if you want to.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The social life gets ragged on a lot, but that's because people here are busy and they take work seriously and it is a smaller school. So don't come here expecting to attend giant greek parties in mansions or the school to put on raves. However, the people are awesome and you must join groups as you would in any place to really have fun. Also, Baltimore is a great foodie town.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's extremely expensive (you can go to a state school for as much as it costs to go here almost in 1 year) but the education and potential connections you can make, along with the Hopkins prestige, is probably worth it for the people and the types of jobs they would go into if they are planning on coming here in the first place. That's why I chose to attend versus going to University of Texas at Austin.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Learn how to time manage and allot time to having fun as well as studying. Be open and try to get to know as many people as you can, including professors.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you like research and smaller schools while still being a part of a city, then this is a good place for you.
