<p>Any college worth attending will entail a lot of hard work. The standards at JHU are a plus, as far as I am concerned. JHU has a great reputation. It is a wonderful place for undergrad, especially if you like an urban location. The neighborhood around JHU is pretty decent. JHU is good in many areas, not just life sciences. Baltimore is a pretty exciting city: great restaurants and cultural events. Awesome aquarium. The inner harbor and Fells Point are fun.</p>
