Why Would People Say These Things About JHU?

Hey whats up…I’ve been (and still am) in a lot of those classes that are mentioned, and live right on Homewood. There’s no question that one has to work for the grades…I did relatively badly on my first bunch of exams…but then you just get yourself in gear. There’s always stuff to do if you look for it, don’t buy any of that talk that says there isn’t. I’m in a cappella, Hopkins Olympic Taekwondo, and the College Republicans…all the while doing the whole pre-med game, and working a campus job in security. No, I’m not a workaholic or any exceptional genius. It just takes dedication and motivation. On the other hand, the load at JH is intense. You WILL find the depressed work-laden people around here. However, if you are used to dealing with that before, and have been a high achiever, all it takes is to reapply that. Its not the coursework thats tough…it’s getting into that mindset. Trust me, it took me too long myself…but its all good. Just remember that the naysayers are the ones that speak out the most. The majority of people here are great.

There we go, c’mon everyone, start the bashing…hehe

Hope this helps
