Worst of

Worst Things

  1. Many students feel that professors are more concerned with their own research than with helping the students they teach.
  2. Hopkins lacks traditional school spirit. Students are proud of the Hopkins name and reputation, but not its athletics.
  3. The Recreational Center was recently renovated, which is nice, but it is extremely small. It is difficult to work out during the peak hours of the day.
  4. There are unsafe neighborhoods surrounding Hopkins, and new students need to learn where they should and should not walk.
  5. When students live off campus junior and senior year, they have to work to create their own social lives. If they aren’t willing to look for things to do, they’ll end up bored.
  6. Tuition is extremely expensive. Although financial aid packages and scholarships lower the burden, most students graduate with large amounts of debt.
  7. With the name recognition attached, students expect to have an adequate health and wellness center. The Student Health and Wellness Center, however, is famous around campus for misdiagnosing student illnesses.
  8. Parking is a headache. Even when friends come to visit for a day or two, it is almost impossible to find them a parking spot.
  9. The competitive nature of the students. The school is so competitive that a large number of students rarely take a break from studying. As the school year drags on, you begin to see the same people in the library.
  10. The on-campus meal plan leaves lots to be desired. Although there’s a wide selection of foods offered, students dislike the meal plan requirement for freshmen and sophomores. It is expensive, and the dining halls repeat food choices often.

Expensive

Tuition is a steep $39,150, one of the most expensive rates in the country.

Expensive Dorms

Living on campus doesn't come cheap, with an average housing price tag of $7,150.

Few and Far Between

You will find that there aren't hot girls crawling around the JHU campus. Of course, there are some beautiful girls but they quickly get swept up. Also, the tier of girls below hot get this false identity that they are superior when in reality, they would be just another girl anywhere else.

Not So Shabby

Lacrosse is big at Hopkins. So me being from Texas where football is popular, it makes it very hard to adjust. I do wish there was a little more emphasis on school spirit in athletics.
