<p>My dad went to Hopkins for med school.</p>
<p>What are you intending to major in?</p>
<p>Also, what are you looking for in the city surrounding your college?
Hopkins is in Baltimore. WashU is in St. Louis. Both towns can be seen as quite “dangerous” by some. If you find St. Louis boring, Baltimore may be more suitable for you (it’s also near DC and the entire east coast if you plan on traveling or exploring). But if you find Baltimore not so fun because of the weather (pretty intensely cold winters), St. Louis is probably better. But St. Louis weather is pretty unpredictable as well.</p>
<p>If you want a school for sports, or rather lacrosse, Hopkins beat Duke last year (2007 I think).</p>
<p>I heard that the medical school is pretty competitive as well. But I heard it wasn’t that bad, conditions were liveable.</p>
