<p>I just started as a freshman at Hopkins and I can tell you that the campus is very, very secure. There are hopkins security guards posted at every nearby street corner 24 hours per day. While it can be a nuisance, you need to carry your JCard (campus ID) everywhere to get anywhere. However, this makes it so that the dorms and all the buildings are really safe. Additionally, the nearby parts off campus are really safe. There is really not much to be worried about with the number of policemen and security guards nearby. Now, if you were to venture towards the inner harbor at night, you would be going through some of the worst parts of Baltimore. Being safe at Hopkins and in most other facets of life is about common sense. If you are aware of the parts of Baltimore you shouldn’t go to as well as the many services provided by Hopkins security, you should go through four years of JH unscathed.</p>
