Why Would People Say These Things About JHU?

I agree with much of what “littlemage” says especially this line…

“The naysayers are the ones that speak out the most. The majority of people here are great.”

Truer words have been said on CC before. It consistently amazes me the negative misconceptions that are spread by Hopkins – all the people I know love it here. It gets frustrating that the reputation of Hopkins in the public eye tends to be based on the voice of the minority – students who if they “hate” it so much, why are they here???

Is Hopkins tough – yes at times it is. But it is Hopkins, come on what were you expecting it to be. I heard all the negativity and rumors before coming here, and looking back none were true. I have fun, I am involved, I work hard, and I get good grades. IT IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT - and if you don’t like, I say TRANSFER!!!
