43) New housing avaliable which will provide housing for most jun/seniors who wish to continue to live "on campus"
44) Opportunities due to a near med school and a near hospital
45) The eighth school to have the most asians produce the apps for med school-which means alot of people apply from hopkins, killing off the myth regarding no one getting any rec letters... The list below includes both public and private schools...which is quite shocking since public schools are large and hopkins is small compared to their size...hint: the percentage of our undergrad pop who produce med school apps are great
http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/2006/masian.htm
46) Ranked as 24 as a feeder college into top med, law, and buisness programs after graduation...it should be noted that hopkins rank is lowered a bit since hopkins does not do too well in law and buisness placements in the really high topped schools, but is still placed as 24 for what reason? =D
http://www.collegejournal.com/special/top50feeder.pdf
47) Unlike Duke, which has only 25% of its graduates go directly to med, law, buisness programs, hopkins allows its graduates to fair well in the admission process w/o having the majority of them wait another extra year of their life
Duke is still a cool school though =D

49) Lacross team owns
50) One hr drive to washington extremely useful to IR majors

53) Medical Tutorial Program offered through preprofessional advising center->receive credit also =D
54) Possible to conduct research on med campus
55) Hospital provides shadowing opportunities

Minus: jhu is in america, if drafting starts, your chance of being drafted is equal to a person who is of around your age and not attending college-due to vietnam drafting reforms

Well, I am sure the draft really isn't a valid "negative" because it does not only apply to JHU. All these positives that we are listing are exclusive to JHU. And I can almost assure you that no draft will occur.

No free hospital visits to Hopkins Hopsital, but the Student Health and Wellness center does free checkups when you're sick and free physical exams for all students. They can also refer you to doctors at Hopkins Hospital or at Union Memorial (which is 2 blocks from campus), but that's when your insurance would have to kick in. Also, we have HERU, a student EMS unit on campus that can respond 24/7, provide basic treatment and then transport you to Health and Wellness or the hospital (at no charge) if needed. (disclosure: I'm a active member on the EMS unit)

P.S. Andrew, nice addition to the list (I'm guessing you can figure out who I am?)
