Is JHU in a bad area?

<p>As others have noted, Hopkins’ campus is safe. As one ventures away, that’s not as much the case. Baltimore is not a safe city. Regrettably, there have been problems, as well, in the not-too-distant past, with local government and law enforcement. Efforts have been made to clean up folks’ act, but I remain leery.</p>

<p>All that being said, it’s likely that my younger son will attend this coming fall. Life entails some risk. Hopkins is a fantastic school. A little caution and common sense will go a long way toward making it a safe experience, as well.</p>
