<p>Given that I have met many-a class of 2009ers, I can vouch that there IS a sense of community and I am extremely happy to be going to the same institution as Andrew and Kams and others.</p>
<p>I've been to Hopkins plenty of times, spoke with many students and they all seem to love it there... I guess that's why I can't comprehend this disdain for the school. </p>
<p>Perhaps I was meeting the wrong group of people.. but I don't think so. These were people that were out and about, seemed involved and into more than their studies. </p>
<p>Whether you chose Cornell or Hopkins, which are equal in my views, is not worth a debate!</p>
<p>Dog87 is just trying to use the ivy name to offset any disadvantage Cornell might have. Ivy is irrelevent in the face of a Stanford, MIT, CIT, JHU, Duke, Northwestern alumnus.</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but no there's no way that you can rank JHU alumni along with those of Stanford, MIT, or Duke. There, I'm finished with this thread.</p>
<p>I turned down Duke, NW, Chicago, and Hopkins for Cornell!</p>
<p>well, there's one generalization I can make about some of the Cornell students, they have nothing else better to do than to come to the JHU board and pester people.</p>
<p>They seem quite insecure. Glad I turned them down.</p>
<p>Well...Cornell is known for the highest suicide rate because of the large number of stoners that attend.</p>
<p>easy guys :0) Yes, but I don't know why they are coming to this thread to state their choice over Hopkins!? -- I guess they need some type of extra affirmation. Let's not give it to them :)</p>
<p>Wow. Whoever mojobari is . . . yeah, get out of this thread. A lot of us turned down Stanford and Duke for Hopkins, but I didn't expect you do know that.</p>

<p>To be fair, how people who have not yet actually been real undergraduas at the school for any period of time is not an effective way to gauge community spirit.</p>
<p>I'm not bashing either Cornell or JHU. I'm a Penn undergrad (class of 2007) browsing these forums to kill time in between the end of classes and the start of my round-the-world travel extravaganza. They're both good schools, though for what it's worth, I applied to Hopkins and not Cornell.</p>
<p>w h a t ?</p>
<p>for what it's worth, I turned down Hopkins for Cornell.</p>
<p>that's your choice, and i hope you'll be happy at cornell.</p>
<p>collegekid1988, whatever its worth you have beat it to death. you dont have to proclaim your choice of college multiple times within the SAME thread. i hate to be incendiary, and maybe you are just trying to play the fool, but your posts are painfully meaningless and annoying.</p>
<p>my comment was just a little side note in reference to Johnny's comment "They're both good schools, though for what it's worth, I applied to Hopkins and not Cornell." Therefore, I was just adding that I turned down Hopkins for Cornell. I am not putting Hopkins down, my cousin goes there, it just wasn't the right fit for me. GOOD LUCK ppl! :)</p>
<p>good god. can someone just delete this really retarded thread? or close it?</p>
<p>you can't say JHU is necessarily superior to Cornell in research. Cornell is becoming the number one research facility for undergraduates in the country. They just opened a huge facility for nanotechnology, yeah nanotechnology. They mean business. So I guess someone else needs to be doing their "research".</p>
<p><em>YAWN</em> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz</p>
<p>"The students in both of these classes were unprepared, only two students had done the assigned reading. I couldn't wait to get off of that campus."</p>
<p>Nice! I guess I won't have to do as much studying as I thought to succeed... just doing the reading I can be the star student and come out with a great education/degree?</p>
<p>Lol, anyway... not really true it's the same everywhere, some students try to slack off some don't. I'm sure you'll be surprised when you see how uninterested some kids are in studying next year.</p>
