Current Student: You can go 4 years at Hopkins and never have a run in with crime. That being said, I know people who have been accosted, or mugged. BUT and a big but here is that these things happened late at night, in neighborhoods that were better left untraveled at such times. In any city, in any large town, crime is a possibility. Just avoid certain areas and you will be safe. JHU has a large security force that keeps the area secure. People tend to paint Baltimore in a bad light. Just like JHU has a reputation for being “cut throat” (which, having been here almost a year, is a complete fallacy) people hold preconceived notions about things with which they have no personal experience. Campus safety is not a reason to disregard possible enrollment at Hopkins.
