Very nice campus and upscale neighborhood on one side and more sketchy areas closer to downtown. [View Full Report]

Tour guide claimed dorm doors buzz when propped open after a period of time (when she was asked if this is the case), but don't think she actually knew if they do or don't. [View Full Report]

Blue light stations are everywhere, I only saw one or two but the tour guide said they have a huge police force, the guy in charge of security was in charge of the secret service (or something). [View Full Report]

They have the blue lights, and these special motion sensor cameras that detect physical violence...pretty cool! [View Full Report]

Hard to say--Obviously, being on an urban campus, students would need to use common sense and caution, especially in going out in the evening. [View Full Report]

Theres blue lights all around campus and apparently if you press one security will get there in 30 seconds. That's crazy. [View Full Report]

There's always the off-chance that you might get mugged if you wander too far too late at night, but security is AMAZING and if you dont act like an idiot im sure youll be fine [View Full Report]

Although Baltimore isn't the most luxurious or safest place on earth, Hopkins certainly did its best to create an oasis. See below [View Full Report]

Charles Village is not the nicest or safest place for a university, but I rated this is "5" because of the attitute JHU takes for security. They are very serious about maintaining the well-being of their students and it is very evident as you w [View Full Report]
