| I can't speak for the general population at Hopkins, but I've met SOOO many JHU transfers here in just my first year at Duke and all of them talk about how cutthroat it was/how bad and annoying Baltimore was, etc. A couple friends are from Baltimore and also shared very negative stories of Hopkins. Obviously, all of this is quite biased, but I feel like at the point where I haven't heard ANY positives about life at Hopkins and the only positives I've heard AT ALL are simply that it's 1st in BME while Duke is 2nd, I'd take Duke over JHU. 1st vs. 2nd isn't a great difference and the aspects of life at the two schools make Duke the obvious choice (for me). |
