<p>Was anyone else on here invited to the colors of hopkins overnight event? I just recieved an invitation today in my e-mail.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it is the same weekend as my school's homecoming so I am torn on whether or not I should go. This is also the same weekend as Amherst, whose diversity weekend I already decided to pass by because it is the weekend of homecoming and I am not planning on applying to that school.</p>
<p>Hopkins, on the other hand, is a different story. I am trying to decide on if I want to apply or not, it's definitely a school that has sparked my interest.</p>
<p>Would you guys pass up your homecoming to go to this? It seems like I may be able to get the same experience with a normal open house (the program consists of info sessions on friday and an open house session on saturday) and a planned overnight visit. Thus, I'm not sure if I should apply or not. Also, I don't want to apply and potentially take someone's spot if I am not set for sure on wanting to go.</p>
<p>What would you do in this situation?
Thanks all for your input!</p>
<p>I would definitely go, as it seems like a great way to see the campus up close especially since you're so far away (Arizona I'm guessing). High school Homecoming is important, BUT I can almost promise you that some of your friends will be off doing college things as well -- not all, but some. Further, you'll always be able to go back to your high school for homecoming and you'll get a homecoming in college too! And, you still have prom and all that really fun stuff at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Don't regret missing a great opportunity to see a school like JHU - you'll definitely have a great time. Let us know how it goes.</p>
<p>Yeah that's true, I do still have Prom and all the other events my high school does.
And I do know of at least two of my friends that are going to be out of town for college visits that weekend.</p>
<p>Thanks for helping me to see some benefits of going to JHU over homecoming!
I'll let you know how it goes if I decide to go...which I probably will!</p>
<p>I would definitely take any chance you get to see Hopkins since it isn't exactly a short flight from AZ to MD. It's a really nice campus and especially now, with all the leaves changing and the weather not too hot, it's really, really nice.</p>
<p>Fly airtran from phoenix... it's usually hella cheep.</p>
<p>How is Hopkins so far AdamJaz?</p>
<p>I am missing my senior homecoming for the Colors of Hopkins program. I think it will be worth it!</p>
<p>I'm doing both Colors of Hopkins and Homecoming because I live an hour from Campus.</p>
<p>colors of hopkins might be more fun that your school's homecoming? haha i'm just saying...
i'm going to colors of hopkins because i live an hour away and can make it home early the next day for my homecoming field hockey game and dance. plus, i can't let my date down!</p>
