The
time was the 1980's- the male students outnumbered the female
students by a 2:1 ratio. There was a lot of
talk about cut throat competition for grades, “impossible” courses, etc.
Two of my 4 freshman apartment mates dropped out
before senior year to go elsewhere...and yet I had what
I would say was a very good college experience. I
graduated with honors so apparently grade deflation is not so
bad...I did work hard to get my Pre-Med degree but
had time to minor in Russian, act in plays, take
advantage of the speaker series and the shuttle to Washington
on occasion, chase after some Goucher girls and explore Baltimore
a little bit, too. For the self-motivated, intellectually curious
and hard working student this is a challenging but positive
place. For those looking to have a social life
spooned over them, for easy classes and laid back atmosphere,
this is not the place. With my AP
credits I placed out of freshman year and began life
“as a sophomore.” No pass/fail first semester for me.
It was a major adjustment to go from basically gliding
through high school to taking 2nd year college courses at
such a competitive school. My first exam was a shock
to my system, but ultimately made me a much better
student. I am not sure how much the degree helped
me going forward, but having to find a way to
meet the challenges at JHU was an invaluable lesson for
life.
