<p>Where do JHU students live after their first 2 yrs in the dorms are up? All the close neighborhoods see so dangerous.</p>
<p>There is a lottery to determine who gets the opportunity to live on campus. Something like 160 spots. The other people live off campus in apartments. Local apartments send representatives to the campus for off-campus housing fairs throughout the first few weeks of the spring. The area is fine.</p>
<p>Some upperclassmen will choose to live on-campus and go through the housing lottery described by YanksDolphins. </p>
<p>Many juniors and seniors do want to live off-campus and choose to do so – there are many more options and typically off-campus housing is cheaper. </p>
<p>The majority of students living off-campus live within a three block radius around the Homewood campus and therefore still live within Charles Village, which is the safest part of Baltimore. Even though the housing is technically off-campus, many of the apartments that students live in are actually across the street (on Charles or University) or one block away (on St. Paul’s Street). Off-campus housing does not mean you are miles away from campus.</p>

<p>My off-campus apartment is actually closer to campus than my “on-campus” university-owned apartment from last year.</p>
