Johns Hopkins for Physics?

As an aside, is it true that the JHU physics department controls a bunch of space ships, including the hubble?

I know that the physics department at JHU really takes care of their own and all the physics majors I met seem happy. I’m not sure if this is a common thing at all dep’ts but at JHU the freshmen physics majors have their own intro to physics class (so they have a lot fewer people in the class (<30 probably)). The Physics building is HUGE and awesome inside.

Plus the applied physics laboratories are part of JHU.

Overall, I think the physics majors get a lot of attention from the department and are treated pretty well. You should find a current physics student and try to talk to them, maybe the admissions dep’t can help you out with that. Good luck.
