<p>I realize that, based on the name of the op, that this is probably a ■■■■■ but, to avoid someone who is uninitiated from getting the wrong impression, I’ll simply state that not only is the JHU campus not “crappy,” it is probable the nicest urban campus I’ve ever seen. See for yourself. [Johns</a> Hopkins Homewood Campus](<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/visitors/map.html]Johns”>http://apply.jhu.edu/visitors/map.html)</p>
<p>Hopkins and Cornell are both great research universities–and quite comparable academically in Arts & Sciences. There are stark differences between the two schools–but they go to issues of preference, not quality. Hopkins has a much much smaller undergraduate population than Cornell–which is far and away the largest Ivy. Cornell is also physically huge–with not just Arts & Sciences and Engineering but all the New York State contract schools (Industrial and Labor Relations, Agriculture, Hotel Management, etc.) You need a bus to get around. </p>
<p>Hopkins is an urban campus in a major city–with both the pluses and minuses that connotes. Compared to Ithaca, Baltimore has quite a lot to do (professional sports, world-class museums, major symphony orchestra, great restaurants, music venues, etc. It is also on the main east coast corridor–with easy public transportation to DC, Philadelphia and NYC. Ithaca is a small city in the New York snow belt. It does have wonderful outdoor type stuff to do, but you have to like the cold and snow. And if you want to leave Ithaca, you better have a car because it is rather isolated unless you consider Syracuse, an hour away, a real hot spot. </p>
<p>As far a premed goes, I’d say the two schools are comparable. One advantage of Hopkins is that, as an undergraduate, you can easily get involved in research on the medical campus. Since Cornell’s medical school is in Manhattan, that’s obviously out of the question if you are in Ithaca.</p>
<p>“You need a bus to get around.”</p>
<p>That depends, but most people don’t, most of the time. It depends on where you take courses and where you live.</p>
<p>The university colleges are divided geographically into their own separate “quads”.
Also, living areas are geographically disbursed around the campus. Nobody needs a bus to navigate within their own college, it’s when you are taking courses in multiple colleges that the bus may occasionally be helpful. Or if you live far from your quad.</p>
<p>If you live in collegetown and take courses at the Vet school, then you may prefer to take the bus to get to some courses, and may even “need” to. I suppose.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I took virtually all my courses in Arts & sciences & the engineering college, and the only time I recall taking a bus was when i wanted to go far up on the ag quad for a lark. I actually did have a course on the ag quad, I walked there from where I already was, on campus.</p>
<p>After freshman year, most people choose their living arrangements with ready access to their courses/colleges/quads in mind.</p>
<p>neither prepare you to be a surgeon at the ugrad level.</p>
<p>that said it would be much easier to find a surgeon for a mentor and be involved in medicine (med tutorial courses, research, shadowing, etc) at hopkins because of the free shuttles to and from the med campuses. also consider that cornell has more pre-meds (<a href=“http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/table2-7-mwhite-web.pdf[/url]”>http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/applicantmatriculant/table2-7-mwhite-web.pdf</a>) but less med resources (no med campuses) and is rather isolated. </p>
<p>but to be fair your first goal is to get to medical school and both schools can do an excellent job as long as YOU do well academically, seek advice, and take advantage of opps afforded to students.</p>
<p>btw hopkins’ homewood (ugrad) campus is not ugly! it is actually a good-looking campus (georgian achitecture, park-like scenery), but it is much smaller and has less architectural diversity than cornell because it is located in a city instead in the middle of nowhere. if you are an outdoorsy person you’d love ithica (minus horrible upstate ny winter conditions).</p>
<p>The 2016 in the op’s username necessarily implies that we are dealing with an uninformed sophomore</p>
<p>cornell is too cold. just saying. good luck!</p>
