<p>How annoyed do you get when people call it this? Where did so many people get "John Hopkins" from "Johns Hopkins?" Just curious.</p>
<p>I get really annoyed actually. But I suppose it's kind of simple. What on earth kind of name is Johns? It takes the whole history of JHU to explain THAT one. I suppose most people just think they misheard. </p>
<p>I actually kind of wonder how our benefactor lived it down. But it's still an interesting story...</p>
<p>If you haven't heard of the school (which is unfortunate with Hopkins), you aren't likely to accept "Johns" if you've never seen/heard it before. Part of it comes from lazyness to learn the name. But yeah, you really do need to know the story of Johns Hopkins to accept his name.</p>
<p>Jhu Has A Good Med School!</p>
<p>Indeed it does.</p>

<p>Yes it does/random</p>
<p>Actually I'd use the words AWESOME, EPIC, BALLIN' Med school, but since I will be attending JHU in the fall I'm biased. lol ;)</p>
<p>i feel like you have to be pretty uptight to get worked up over someone saying john instead of johns</p>
<p>hm, i thought jhu was famous for it's horrible med school... one of the worst in the nation i thought....</p>
<p>yeah johns hopkins undergrad isn't the best though</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>well, Johns Hopkins's undergrad is ranked 14 in the country by USNEWS, and its BME undergrad is ranked FIRST by pretty much every other ranking system, its got a top ranked Arts and Sciences program, and I believe a #14th Engineering excluding the #1 BME and other such top programs...so I don't know if your statement is very valid...</p>
<p>And its med school, vacilitating from rank #1 to #2 is just gravy ;)</p>
<p>darkknight101, which undergrad is the best? let me guess... duke?</p>
<p>My mom calls it that every time. I actually get pretty used to it, although if she comes to visit me there I'll be embarrassed to hear her say that out loud!</p>
<p>"darkknight101, which undergrad is the best? let me guess... duke?"</p>
<p>nope but duke is 8th... 6 spots higher than hopkins</p>
<p>There are people who will murder you for calling it John Hopkins. Seriously, we have friggin t-shirts in our bookstore about it.</p>
<p>Do we really have it in the bookstore? I've never seen it. At some schools, they can't sell shirts like that in the bookstore (WashU, U Chicago for example).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^actually I've "seen" the shirt before, but the guy at the bookstore always tells me that they're out. They always seem to be out of stock. I really want one ;)</p>
<p>The shirt I love that is new to the bookstore recently is:
"Johnsssssssss Hopkins"
It is out of stock a lot. </p>
<p>On a related note, here is one of my favorite things of all times:</p>
<p>I got it freshman year....</p>
<p>I think my biggest issue is when people say "Oh, so you're going to be a doctor?" when I tell them I am at Hopkins. I may be pre-med, but I am noooooooot quite there yet. It is such a tease!</p>
