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.

questionHi, my name is Millie Shah and I am a senior at Sunny Hills High School in southern California and currently looking at applying early to JHU. You seem like an honest person and I was really curious about what life is like at Johns Hopkins. I am interested in the BME major and I have been to Johns Hopkins for a summer program but I am scared that as an undergrad, college at JHU will be too competitive and no fun at all. i would really appreciate your objective and honest opinion on Johns Hopkins social scene because I am sure we all agree that this school excels in academics(so that is not really a deciding factor for me—but i have heard college is the best time of your life and i dont want to waste mine being miserable). Thank you so much for your time. -Millie
