<p>If you got into Writing Seminars, you will LOVE the place!!! Two words: Tristan Davies. What an incredible man.</p>

<p>The Hopkins campus is definitely involved, eclectic, and very active in music, theater, arts, athletics, clubs etc. You won’t have enough time in the day. Here are some things I definitely suggest reading though:</p>

<p>Lauren C’s Blog, Writing Seminar’s Major: [Lauren</a> explores life at Johns Hopkins as a Humanities student. | Wish You Were Here](<a href=“Taiga”>Taiga)
Her perspective on Baltimore: [getting</a> to know Baltimore| Wish You Were Here](<a href=“Taiga”>Taiga)
Writing Sem’s: [Academics</a> Blog Writing Seminars](<a href=“Taiga”>Taiga)</p>

<p>Based on what you’re looking for, it just sounds like JHU is an ideal fit. Small school, students who care, intellectual thinkers, in a city and they gave you great financial aid. Hopefully you can visit again to put aside your reticence.</p>

<p>The residence halls are pretty standard and generally social, all are within in 5 mins walking of eachother which makes for a great community. The students come from all over to be in such an environment who have a similar value set. There are amazing people in the Hopkins community and the students love academics but don’t let that fool you because there are most definitely parties on (and off) campus through clubs, organizations and fraternity/sorority life. Whether you want to go see an independent film, go to a party until late into the night or read Proust and talk about it until you’re exhausted, Hopkins really offers students a world which is so rarely found elsewhere. The campus is beautiful (<a href=“Home | Johns Hopkins University”>Home | Johns Hopkins University) and (<a href=“http://www.cmmichael.com/sets/jhufall06/lower-quad-breezeway-1.jpg[/url]”>http://www.cmmichael.com/sets/jhufall06/lower-quad-breezeway-1.jpg&lt;/a&gt;) and the Virtual Tour will allow you to get an idea (<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/visitors/map.html[/url]”>http://apply.jhu.edu/visitors/map.html&lt;/a&gt;) </p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck in your decision. I highly suggest visiting if you get the chance. =]</p>

<p>Oh, and I think you’ll love this video about professor Dick Macksey: <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnsHopkins#p/c/2CF9C63A101AD416/0/4rvXUHI331k[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnsHopkins#p/c/2CF9C63A101AD416/0/4rvXUHI331k&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
