101 Reasons to attend Johns Hopkins University

<p>Mason Hall is the new Admissions Building and University Welcome Center. I am not sure what you mean by registration building?</p>

<p>As far as Garland is remains and contains all the offices mentioned in the post above. The former spaces occupied by the Admissions Office were located on the first floor of Garland and also in the room connected to the Levering Food Court. The offices that will be replacing our old offices are:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Office of Student Financial Services will expand to take over more space on the first floor of Garland. </p></li>
<li><p>The Office of International Student Scholar Services will take over the rest of the space formerly occupied by Admissions on the first floor of Garland.</p></li>
<li><p>The Garland lobby will be unoccupied with no information desk.</p></li>
<li><p>The Levering Space will become the new Study Abroad Office.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>YES! The</a> Johns Hopkins University: Who Was Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>JHU has some of the nicest grass on the east coast I've seen.</p>

<p>I'm from Cali so I'm used to seeing well-maintained lawns. When I toured some of the other east coast schools, the grass really stood out.</p>

<p>But wow, JHU has some amazing grass.</p>

<p>I have no idea what # this is.</p>

<p>May have missed this being clearly mentioned earlier, but Newsweek has crowned JHU the "hottest school for pre-meds." This comes as no shock considering not only the percentage of admission success, but the amazing home-field advantage you have with a medical center whose reputation trumps even Harvard in your back yard. Best hospital in the world (vs. Harvard's best (MGH) which is ranked #5), med school reputation/residency director score tied with Harvard (this is what actually matters, not the ambiguous "research rank"), best public health school in the country, etc., etc. Perfect example of why overall undergrad rank does not necessarily reflect where you need to go if you have a specific field of interest like medicine.</p>

<p>How is Johns Hopkins with Pre-vet, since they have a good pre-med program does that mean that it is good for pre-vet too?</p>

<p>"48) Southern state but has a more northern aura to it"</p>

<p>But is Maryland actually the south? Everyone from Maryland that I've met considers it "Mid-Atlantic," as do atlases and such. Hell, I've met Virginians who consider it northern. I've also never seen anyone from MD depicted as having any discernable accent. (And the DID fight for the Union, btw.) Just a thought.</p>

<p>But yeah, it's nice that it's in a more moderate climate area (VT winters suck) and yet retains a northern culture/mindset.</p>

<p>1) Maryland is below the Mason Dixon line (separates Pennsylvania and Maryland); 2)It was a slave-owning state until the 13th Amendment was passed (the Emancipation Proclamation didn’t apply to Maryland because it was not a state "in rebellion;) 3) Maryland had legal segregation until the Civil Rights laws were passed in 1964; 4) Maryland probably would have joined the Confederacy if left to its own devices, but because DC would have been cut off from the North if that happened, it was essentially occupied by federal troops during the Civil War. 5) Southern sympathies during the Civil War were so strong that Lincoln avoided Baltimore for fear of assassination. In that sense, it is a Southern state. </p>

<p>In other ways, it is a Northern state. In particular, most Southerners consider Maryland as a Northern state. Also, the accent is not Southern but mid-Atlantic (closer to Philadelphia than Richmond). The large African-American population in Baltimore is comprised, for the most part, not of descendants of slaves who lived in Maryland but, rather, descendants of slaves from more Southern states who moved to Baltimore around the Second World War due to the large number of defense-related jobs in the area (shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, etc.) Unlike most Southern states at the time, the economy was based primarily on manufacturing, not agriculture.</p>

<p>Statues in the vicinity of the Homewood campus demonstrate the unusual dual nature of the area. Immediately to the north of campus (at Charles and University Parkway) is a large statue dedicated to the “Confederate Women of Maryland.” Immediately to the south (across from the Art Museum) is a statue of Robert E. Lee. At Charles and 29th St (just north of Hopkins’ School of Education and the Dell House) is a large statue dedicated to the Union soldiers from Maryland who fought for the North in the Civil War. I guess you can have it both ways.</p>

<p>Yeah; it’s an ideal hybrid.</p>

<p>i’m not sure if someone already mentioned this but…Ben Carson!!
maybe i’ll finally get to meet him if I get into Johns Hopkins :)</p>

<p>If my husband – from NE – thought Johns Hopkins/Maryland as a southern state, I think he wouldn’t have been as excited for son to apply.</p>

or that it’s a wet campus?
