<p>Hopkins is not a party school. Master Margarita has the best answer to OP’s question.</p>
<p>Want parties? Great! there are several you can go to!
Don’t want parties? Awesome! there are tons of students just like you who still have fun.</p>
<p>I do recommend going to a party at some point though even if you don’t drink. Many frats will have smaller parties where all they do is eat, drink, and talk. Even if you don’t drink, you might enjoy meeting people since everyone at Hopkins has an interesting talent or backstory.</p>
<p>Freshman do in fact have a substance free house in AMR’s and the people I know who live there really enjoy it. They apparently have movie nights and game nights on the weekend. </p>
<p>However, whether or not you’re a partier, JHU challenges you to work hard in your classes. You’ll have tons of opportunities for research and you’ll learn tons.</p>
