<p>idk, I'm an African American female attending JHU (not ugly btw..haha) and I've been on the campus since Wednesday. and already, i don't really like the vibe of the school.
1. ALL THE BLACKS BASICALLY STICK TOGETHER! no lie. i come in first day and i'm already surrounded by blacks asking me my name and being my friend. now im part of the black clique.
2. i dont like everyone in the clique. hopkins is a weird place where you feel out of place when you're not white or asian.
3. it's just like EH i'm sick of people already and i havent even been here for a week o<em>O
4 I didnt know that students here considered Hopkins to be subpar to Penn, Cornell etc. I have heard many say "I applied to Hopkins be/c i knew i could get in. I could never get into Upenn etc. ummm my credentials were high enough for Penn, etc but I chose Hopkins
5. so many people are the same major! BME, international studies, neuroscience, biology, writing seminars -</em>- I like to have intelligent conversations and everyone I've spoken to during orientation has just given me small talk. I like the humanities and such and I want to discuss these things.</p>
<p>anyways, have even of you felt like this in the beginning and then regretted that you stayed? i am considering transferring to my other top choices...UPenn and Barnard. Did you make most of your friends during orientation or during classes?</p>
