Baltimore can be a very pretty old town, but it isn't as fun a city as, say, NY or Chicago. I did spy some cute restaurants and shops around, though. [View Full Report]

Baltimore, IMO, is a mixed bag. The Inner Harbor area is quite nice. However, Baltimore definitely has its share of rough areas, including some that are rather close to JHU. [View Full Report]

inner harbor is nice, but theres other areas that I would stay away from, cause they're a bit rundown and i even saw a graveyard with the headstones broken. but that wasn't close to campus. [View Full Report]

The inner Harbor is nice and Camden Yards is a great place to see a ballgame. [View Full Report]

Baltimore has changed! Vibrant restaurant/culture scene. Neighborhood identities abound, making exploring the city very interesting. Much of the city is walkable and JHU is well-located for walking to a number of areas. [View Full Report]

It didn't look like much was happening off-campus, unless you have a car and go down to the waterfront, which is about 30 blocks down? [View Full Report]

Again, this rating isn't meant towards JHU, but I dislike Baltimore. There are far better college towns out there (Boston, Ann Arbor, etc...) and Baltimore isn't a great residential area either. Many will disagree. Although, on campus it is a [View Full Report]

Baltimore is a vibrant city with offerings like Little Italy, the Inner Harbor, the Orioles, Lexington Market (an authentic farmers' market), Federal Hill for boutique shopping in a historic setting, etc. etc. You can probably tell that I am a city- [View Full Report]
