Is EE and CS well regarded at JHU? For reference now I’m deciding between UC Berkeley with regents and Hopkins (with the same price).
Go with Berkeley. Hopkins’ EE and CS programs are respectable, but they aren’t in the same league as those at Berkeley. Also Berkeley’s location in the silicon valley area will give you a lot of opportunities for industry experience that you may miss on the east coast.
Both schools would suit you well, but if I were you I’d go with Berkeley.
I would visit hopkins. Im in the valley, went to Stanford and hopkins, and hire grads from berkeley and other schools for consulting. Im not sure if the poster above has the same amount of experience or has even graduated from college so i would solicit more opinions. Additionally, I have friends who work at google, apple, facebook, etc etc. Berkeley is more represented but hopkins cs and ee gets similar levels of respect from employers at the undergrad level. Grad school is a different matter.
^To qualify my answer, Saif235 is right in that Berkeley will give you more access to the immediate computer science employers by proximity, however. Google in mountain view/san francisco is more receptive to hiring Berkeley/Stanford grads as they are down the street. But the caveat is Google, Facebook, Apple hire the best Berkeley EECS grads (those who graduate with tau beta pi distinction typically). Should you perform similarly at Hopkins (i.e. also tau beta pi), you won’t be at a disadvantage in getting some of the same jobs as the curriculum is similar at both schools (a lot of JHU CS/EE professors have come from industry as well - which helps).
However, the top Berkeley EECS grads compared to the top Hopkins EE or CS grads will likely have more opportunities due to this location distinction and relationship to berkeley (as the valley is filled with berkeley grads). But by and large, Hopkins should afford you opportunities at the most desirable companies, however - just not all the opportunities such as start ups in the valley or ones created at Berkeley/Stanford.
Should you graduate middle of the class at either school however, the value propositions of either degree becomes murky and not too great. Your options would be limited regardless as working in Silicon Valley in a selective company would be harder to come by. My company similarly to google, apple, facebook would rather invest the recruitment costs to hire a magna/summa cum laude Cornell grad than a middle of the road Berkeley grad.
I therefore strongly advocate for you to go to the school where you’ll be happiest - as this correlates to where you’ll likely perform better academically. We’re not comparing Podunk State versus Harvard here.
