<p>I'm going for engineering and i can't decide. hopkins is ranked 14 and penn is 30 so the difference is noticeable. i don't know what i'll be majoring in, but i know both help decide with that.</p>
<p>hmm.. thats a tough one.. altho i should be biased to penn as im going there, i think hopkins is better for the sciences..! penn is more for business n the arts.. dont know much about the hopkins social life tho, but i can tell u.. penn social life ROCKS..! hahah..! best of luck deciding..!</p>
<p>i am from maryland, and knowing that jhu is in Baltimore.... don't go, they call it murdaland, B-more is not a fun place to live</p>
<p>Then again, they call Philadelphia "Killadelphia"</p>
<p>Regardless of what you want to major in, Penn tends to be less cutthroat and lets you tool around in SAS and Wharton classes for a broader education.</p>
<p>there's a reason why so many people turn down hopkins bme for penn bioengineering... myself included...</p>
