Emory or Johns Hopkins?

The educational quality of the polisci programs is probably comparable, but I will not lie and say that we have an “oppurtunity” edge. I mean, come on, JHU is really close to DC, so I’m sure they benefit from that. They probably have lots of speakers, events, etc. However, we do to, I just don’t know how often when compared to JHU. I’m guessing that things like the Halle Institute, and Emerging India Summit, help us. Also, our connection w/the Carter Center seems to have made the China-US relationship (amazing we hold conversations about this considering our really close association w/Tibet) a hot-button issue for lectures on campus. If anything, JHU’s campus may have broader focus of political issues b/c of its location whereas Emory deals w/particular issues that reflect who and what we’re associated with.
