Why did you pick JHU?

I’ve read the threads below, saying that JHU is the best school to go to. But that doesn’t really convince me. I’ve been to Baltimore myself, during my east coast tour, but I didn’t think JHU was even close to best, honestly. Someone give me some reasons why you have chosen to attend/apply to JHU.
In my case, I like MIT better because their curriculum is flexible, people are friendly, Boston is the best college town, they are really “need-blind” (I’ve heard JHU really isn’t), and their food is great.

Besides the fact that JHU is the most famous for medical schools and its facilities w/ medicine, what makes you want to go there?

Please don’t take this as an act of mocking JHU. I really want to hear from the people who have a passion about JHU. Thanks.
