If you're throwing that caveat onto the Hopkins Interactive students, wondering how the underclass students are treated, there are a BUNCH of freshman on the message boards- you can just ASK them!

If you want something different to do on a weekend, a day trip to the museums and monuments of Wash DC is cheap and convenient.
