<p>So I was really just wondering about Diversity at Hopkins. I know that it gets students from Asia and whatnot but what about Europe?</p>
<p>Is it rare to find a student from let's say.. Britain, Wales, Ireland, or Scotland attending Johns Hopkins?</p>
<p>What is wrong with American geography teachers? You’re the second person on this forum in as many days who I’ve had to correct on this issue. Wales and Scotland are part of Britain.</p>
<p>Dionysus58,</p>
<p>I think you are missing the point. I don’t think that OP necessarily didn’t understand the geography of the UK. I mean those are distinct locations. He was just asking if JHU had many students from that area. Also, I find your sense of superiority is a little unbecoming.</p>
<p>Perhaps my expectations are too high, but I believe high school and college students should know the difference between Britain and her home nations and be able to use their respective names correctly. I believe that mistakes like these are lazy and need to be put right. If that makes me seem superior or condescending then so be it.</p>
<p>I met a kid from England last year…that’s about it as far as the UK or Ireland goes, but I know there have got to be more here. We have a pretty sizable population of French students studying here and a handful from elsewhere in Europe. But like many other colleges, the majority of our international students are from Asia. </p>
<p>In terms of diversity in general, Hopkins is very diverse. It’s pretty clear just by stepping on campus.</p>
<p>@Dionysus58 Sorry if I offended you. I meant Britain in general.</p>
<p>I know at least 4 people personally from England in the freshman class, and I’m sure there are many others. There’s also plenty of people from South America, Canada, Africa, Australia, etc. </p>
<p>The diversity on campus is probably one of the most interesting things for me - there are people from all over the world who come from all different backgrounds and it’s great to hear their stories.</p>
<p>Like JHU2013 said, it’s very clear just by stepping on campus that Hopkins is a diverse place.</p>
<p>Agreed - almost half of the people on my floor are international (and they’re not from Asia).</p>
<p>At most universities Asians dominate the international class because their home countries tend to lack strong research universities (or they don’t have space for all of their exceptional students). I feel like Hopkins is a strong enough school that they can attract a diverse international class with students coming from countries that do have quality university systems.</p>
<p>Last I saw, JHU was about 12% International (no US citizenship), but lotsa of dual-citizens and permanent residents. Hopkins has a great global reputation so it can attract great students from all over - including Europe, the Middle East and Africa. </p>
<p>JHU is great for international kids.</p>
