<p>well, hopkins is actually really really safe. they take their security very seriously. there’s like a security guard and fencing manning the dormitories, and there’s literally a brick wall surrounding the campus.<br>
i think the freshman dorms at hopkins are a bit nicer, but ive heard the food is kinda gross.<br>
academics-wise, i feel like you should just research the professors or talk to ppl about the classes or something.</p>
<p>hopkins is definitely very nice (tho the campus isnt as nice as washu’s and sometimes youre like: wait…where does the campus stop?) and safe and has excellent academics. i turned it down cos a) im going to go into business (i had a change of heart…from premed. yeah) b) i already know so many ppl going there from my school, and i wanted to make a fresh start and c) its waaay to close to where i live…like the next county. </p>
<p>so campus: the dorms are actually excellent, and its just brick buildings everywhere, but the architecture isnt wonderful. but here’s a link where you can look at the campus: [Hopkins</a> Admitted Student Site :: Virtual Visits :: Virtually Here](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/admitted/virtual/here.html]Hopkins”>http://apply.jhu.edu/admitted/virtual/here.html)
i think hopkins is definitely nerdier, but its very easy to find parties and stuff, as the frat houses are pretty close and most of the ra’s are lax about the whole “drinking” thing. </p>
<p>good luck w/ your choice!</p>
