<p>I've heard that, besides being a huge science school, John Hopkins has a great English program. What's been your experience?</p>
<p>I don't believe that's true.
Although, I hear Johns Hopkins has fantastic English, Writing Seminars, and History programs.</p>
<p>Haha.. I would have to agree</p>
<p>Tanman, do you agree that you don't believe that is true, or that English, Writing Seminars and History are supposed to be good, or both?</p>
<p>bicoastalmom...
I think "scorp" was joking about the misspelling of Johns Hopkins in the initial post. It is JOHNS not John.</p>
<p>But I think both "scrop" and "tanman" would agree that humanities programs at Hopkins such as English, History, and especially Writing Seminars are top notch programs. </p>

<p>"We are much more than medicine" should really become our tag line.</p>
<p>Ha ha, thanks AdmissionsDaniel, I missed that! I'll have to read these posts more carefully.</p>
<p>it's my 2405th time that someone has called johns hopkins john hopkins =]</p>
<p>I plan a long post in the parents section soon about "The Other Hopkins". Son is a freshman writing sems major. He went ot a tiny private high school and made JHU in his image. All of his classes are 20 students or less. He takes no science classes (he got AP credit for bio and calc so he placed out of most of JHU's science requirements). He likes his profs and they like him. If you're a creative writer and want to put on a play, you put on a play <a href="http://www.jhunewsletter.com/media/storage/paper932/news/2006/10/12/ArtsAndEntertainment/Witness.One.Acts.Feature.Finely.Tuned.Talents-2348941.shtml?norewrite200610171718&sourcedomain=www.jhunewsletter.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.jhunewsletter.com/media/storage/paper932/news/2006/10/12/ArtsAndEntertainment/Witness.One.Acts.Feature.Finely.Tuned.Talents-2348941.shtml?norewrite200610171718&sourcedomain=www.jhunewsletter.com</a></p>
<p>roberthid: Fantastic post!!! I look forward to reading your future "The Other Hopkins" post -- I feel like no matter how loud we scream that we are strong in the liberal arts, some will never understand.</p>
<p>I am glad to hear your son is doing so well, and if he is interested we could always use more Humanities Admissions volunteers - hint, hint.</p>
<p>Actually, my son is very interested in attending JHU specifically for the Writing Seminars program, along with a few other things. This thread caught my eye because I thought somebody was bashing the Liberal Arts at Hopkins. I know better.</p>
<p>Ironically, my husband got both BA and PhD from JHU - as a scientist. Undoubtedly because of this, our son refused to even look at the school until a month ago and now it is his first choice!</p>
<p>Roberthhid, I will look forward to reading your post.</p>
<p>JHU's most popular major is International Relations. They train more than just scientists here.</p>
<p>Another parent here. I'll add that, at least historically, Johns Hopkins has had absolutely first-rate English and French departments. Twenty-five years ago, when my knowledge was all fresh and current, I would have said it was one of the top 5 schools in the country for literary studies.</p>
<p>The writing seminars here are amazing.</p>
