<p>Does JHU offer elective classes in Phys Ed or something similar? For credit or not? Tennis, golf, etc. etc.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I don't think there are classes, but you can always join a club and play club sports. (Think of it as a non-for-credit class ;) )</p>
<p>There is however a workout center and a lot of the non-freshman dorms have work out rooms. There are tennis courts too.</p>
<p>Oh and then there is this, classes that are for credit and may resemble PE. <a href="http://www.jhu.edu/registrar/sched_cr/military.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.jhu.edu/registrar/sched_cr/military.html</a> (ROTC related I believe.)</p>
<p>Thanks, scorp.</p>
<p>jmmom - I asked around and no one knows of any Physical Education classes offered for credit, outside of the ROTC classes that "scorp" linked to. </p>
<p>There are however, many opportunities to be physically involved outside of the classroom. Options include:</p>
<p>*Division I sports (M & W LAX)
*Division III sports (24 different sports)

<p>All in all, a lot to do to avoid the Freshman 15.</p>
<p>There are also intersession classes (enrichment, not credit granting) in things like ballroom dancing and tai chi, so you can do physical things then if you'd like, as well.</p>
<p>Also, you can register for classes at nearby schools. For example, Goucher college has a range of PE classes, and Hopkins kids can register for them. (I'm not EXACTLY positive about the credit situation regarding Goucher specifically, because I think they consider PE classes to be non-credit, but that would be something you'd work out with the Hopkins registrar). One fun class I'm considering for my senior year? Horseback Riding!</p>
<p>Read about the Baltimore Student Exchange program here: </p>
<p>There are probably PE classes at a lot of those schools- I know Towson has an entire kinesiology department.</p>
<p>Thanks, shelly. That's a great alternative.</p>
