Before you come to Hopkins, you should know what you want out of college. Hopkins is a great place to prepare you for graduate, med, and law school. They offer an abundance of small classes, the work load is geared towards serious students, and I have found that faculty has always been approachable. However, it is difficult to pull good grades and be involved in several extracurriculars. First semester, which is pass/fail, is a god-send to most people. The social life could be better… as a junior, I live off-campus, and I barely see anybody. Also, people get so wrapped up in their work, that they put socializing as a second priority. "Hopkins 500" is a term used to described the 500 or so undergraduates who go out on the weekend—out of the 4,000 or so who go here.
