<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>This is coming from a person who know nearly nothing about JHU except from hearsay. </p>
<p>I was just wondering if JHU is just a primarily a medical school or something like that? And how is the social environment there (heard it’s cutthroat competitive there)? </p>
<p>I mean, I’m not looking to be a pre-med or anything like that, but it would be nice if I can change my majors with ease or double major. I’m interested in biological engineering (especially it would be cool if they have a speech and hearing science program like Harvard and MIT does), environmental science, and mathematics–probably more.</p>
<p>JHU is perfect for flexibility- there are no distribution requirements- just writing proficiency, so you couldn’t ask for a better place in that respect. Yeah, JHU is known for pre-med and their amazing medical school which is outranked only by Harvard, but they also have great engineering and math programs.</p>
<p>JHU is located about 7 miles from the medical school. There is a shuttle that leaves regularly that connects the two campuses, however, the university is a whole separate entity that does offer those who qualify opportunities at its health services campus which includes the famous hospital. Though there are a lot of premeds at Hopkins, probably because of the name association, and because Hopkins is a fine school for the sciences, it is a national university that offers many different majors. It has some fine non science departments, including English, languages, art history, and many humanities and social science fields. I believe the most prevalent major is International Studies these days, and they have a great program for that with a Washington DC facility for advanced studies. </p>
<p>I am not aware of an undergraduate speech and hearing program at the university campus, though its school of Health services may offer something of that sort. I know very little about what is offered there. You need to check out what specifically is offered on the undergraduate level and if it meshes with what you want.</p>
<p>Actually, JHU does have distribution requirements, but no core curriculum.</p>
<p>^OK, maybe I used the wrong term. Could you define both?</p>
<p>distribution: u need to take so many english courses (or arts, math, history, etc) courses, but u get to pick the course</p>
<p>core curriculum: here’s a list of courses, take them all</p>
<p>thanks guys. i’ll look more into this school.</p>
<p>Continuing on jupiteradept, schools like Columbia and UChicago have very rigorous core curriculums. All entering freshmen will go through the same courses. At a school like Hopkins, everyone has to take something like 30 credits outside their major. For example, I’m in math, and I need to take 30 humanities or social sciences courses. However, I can take whatever I want to fulfill those requirements so if I want to take all economics courses, or all history, or writing sems courses, I could. Of course, I still need 4 writing classes but those are of my choice.</p>

<p>If you really want to learn more about Hopkins and not just accept hearsay, may I suggest taking a look at the Hopkins Forums: [Hopkins</a> Forums](<a href=“Leak nudes - The Home Of The Sexiest Thots, Nipple Slips, Bikini Pictures, Nude Streamers From Patreon, Onlyfans And Much More!”>Leak nudes - The Home Of The Sexiest Thots, Nipple Slips, Bikini Pictures, Nude Streamers From Patreon, Onlyfans And Much More!)</p>
<p>There is a ton of information on that site with answeres provided by over 20 current freshmen. In the Academics section ([Hopkins</a> Forums -> Academics: The Insider Perspective](<a href=“Leak nudes - The Home Of The Sexiest Thots, Nipple Slips, Bikini Pictures, Nude Streamers From Patreon, Onlyfans And Much More!”>Leak nudes - The Home Of The Sexiest Thots, Nipple Slips, Bikini Pictures, Nude Streamers From Patreon, Onlyfans And Much More!)) you can read about how much more than Medicine is offered at JHU. You can also read about the competition myth here:

<p>Hopefully spending some time on the Forums will provide you with a better overview about the undergraduate experience at Johns Hopkins University.</p>
