The Rumors are True!

Rating: 4/5 (82 ratings)
Introduction
The rumors are true, the social life of Johns Hopkins is severely lacking. It's either frats or nothing. Or if you're part of some of club sometimes you might have more of a social life. But if you're not into any of these, Hopkins will drain whatever life you have right out of you. People who love to sit around and study by themselves will fit right in.

Campus Life and Social Life
The social life, when there is one, is very forced. Awkward people weren't meant to entertain. Hopkins = awkward people. If you like getting drunk, you can. Lacrosse is the only sport worth anything...but it is pretty awesome. There are a few good clubs, but you really have to be involved. Weekends are what you make them. If you don't like frats, good luck. Inner Harbor is a tourist trap and gets old fast. The mall is the only other option and you can only shop so much.

Academics
Great academics. Engineering school is amazing. If you're not IR or possibly writing sems the Arts part sucks, but the sciences are pretty good. You'll learn or you'll be kicked out for failing, which is good.

Student Body
Lots of nerdy Asains, which can be underestimated. Lots of quirky people. A few typical frat/sorority people. Mostly people who study a lot. 10:00 on a Friday night the library is filled. A good chunk of people are from New Jersey, but we forgive them.

In Closing...
Beware, but if you're really into academics its a great choice.
