Its one of the most beautiful university campuses in the United States. Many delicious food options and very diverse community. Professors are very willing to help out and are vested in their students success at Hopkins. I was surprised that it is not a competitive, cutthroat environment but a collaborative and nurturing environment.

Hopkins is a great institution. As a freshman in my second month I was already interviewing with Google and Facebook! I already got on a Hopkins startup team developing pediatric assistive devices and my classmates are collaborative and very willing to help each other to succeed. Even though my engineering major is tough, Hopkins provides help!

If you seek it out, this school is arguable the best in the nation.

Hopkins is the best (external) thing that has ever happened to me. I am a transfer student, and from the first day, I have made amazing friendships, have taken nothing but incredible classes, and have fallen in love with Baltimore and the Homewood campus. This school cares about you as a person rather than just you as a student.

The worst university for social life and honestly not very good academically. It most definitely does not compare to ivy league universities like Stanford, Duke, Harvard, Yale, or Princeton.
