<p>So true, Admissions Daniel. As I have said before, through my son, I have come to know many Hopkins students, who are equally as social, lively and curious about life as he is. And believe me, if there is enough for my son to do, there is enough for anyone. He is extremely social, extracurricularly minded, and has a broad range of interests. Hopkins provides it all...Again, fun will not come to someone who has no interests, and prefer to be an armchair critic, and frankly, boring. That goes for wherever a student chooses to attend. If, however, you are an interesting, fun-loving person, not only will you get a top education at Hopkins, but you will have the time of your lives. Guaranteed. But...and let me sound like the concerned mom here...Students should not forget to do their work amidst all of the action. Hopkins understands young freshmen, and wisely gives them covered grades for the first semester to acclimate themselves to balancing academics with play. And with all of the availabe options for fun at Hopkins, this is a wonderful gift.
As far as the strenuousness of the work...if a student is smart enough to be admitted, he is smart enough to handle the work. Not to worry...Just do what you are supposed to do, and then, have a blast. I believe that upon graduation, students will come to find that they have had the best of everything at Hopkins.</p>
