I found JHU to be a great experience. I found almost all of my profs, even the ones teaching huge lecture classes, to be incredibly helpful and caring, provided you had legitimate problems/concerns and respected office hours. At JHU, you spend a lot of time studying. There is still time, though, to be involved in an activity or two. There is a big difference of opinion, though, with people loving vs hating hopkins. A lot of this seems to be due to people being in majors. Prospective students should research the departments they are thinking about majoring in. If you are visiting the campus, you can set up appointments to meet with facutly and current students to talk about the program(s) you're interested in. Lastly, hopkins is what you make of it. There are a lot of interesting and smart people on campus, and you won't get to know any of them if you just hang out in your dorm room. If you make the effort, you'll get a lot out of the school. This is not a school for those looking for the "typical college experience." This is a school for intelligent people who want to apply and challenge themselves.
