College Prowler Take
Hopkins students disagree about diversity at JHU. A survey showed that while many white students think that Hopkins is very diverse, minority students disagreed. Hopkins has larger Asian and Indian populations and smaller African American and Hispanic populations. In addition, there are fewer students from Western Europe, and many more from Eastern Europe. The administration takes great pride in diversifying Hopkins and is always trying to maintain this diversity. Students also believe that the administration needs to work on integrating students of different races. As one student said, “The campus is diverse, though it can be segregated.” Some students choose not to learn about other cultures or become friends with people who are different than them while attending Hopkins, but there are many opportunities to develop a diverse group of friends. Hopkins has more racial diversity than other colleges in Baltimore, but it represents some minorities more significantly than others. The administration has been unable to break up cliques among people of the same ethnicity, and while some students like the ethnic bond, it makes other students feel excluded. Also, Hopkins is not very diverse economically. Most students are from middle- to upper-middle-class families, which chis creates a feeling of separation between students and individuals who live in and around Baltimore. Students from many races will find that their ethnicity has organized a student group, and students have ample opportunities to learn about the food, culture, and history of their own or other ethnicities.

FactsEconomic Status
Students at Johns Hopkins come from very diverse economic backgrounds. Tuition is very expensive, but most students receive a large amount of financial aid. There are plenty of scholarships available through the school.
Gay Pride
There is a very active group on campus for homosexual, bisexual, and transgendered persons: the Diverse Gender and Sexuality Alliance. This group holds office hours, weekly meetings, club nights, and Awareness Days—which is a month-long series of events that includes lectures by high-profile speakers, movies, and educational discussions.
Minority Clubs
Some minority clubs include the Black Student Union, Caribbean, Chinese, Hellenic, Indian, Korean, Middle Eastern, InterAsian Council, Organizacion Latina Estudiantil (OLE), NAACP, Pakistani, Persian, Russian, Scandinavian, and Spanish groups, as well as the International Club. If you don’t feel as though your ethnic group is represented, it is very easy to start a student group.
Most Common Religions
Hopkins was founded as a research University with specifications that it favor no particular religion. It would be difficult to find a religion not represented at Hopkins, although many students do not practice any religion. There is a very active Interfaith Center, which encourages discussion between religious groups and holds services for many of them.
Political Activity
There is a relatively even split of Republicans and Democrats on campus. There are many student political action clubs to join including College Republicans and College Democrats. Generally, JHU students closely follow political activity and are ready to debate their political beliefs any day of the week.
