<p>IF you don’t like humidity (and bugs), go to UCLA :)</p>
<p>yeah, but UCLA’s undergrad pop is easily double or triple the size of the hopkins and rice undergrad pops put together lol</p>
<p>Hopkins has amazing physics faculty members conducting a lot of research. Hopkins is def a mega research powerhouse, top ten scholarly productivity for physics, top 3 (along side Princeton, and USCD) for strongest impact on astronomy and physics research. It’s also a world leader in astronomy/physics research.</p>
<p>Whoever said research opportunities was tied with UMich and Rice…really doesn’t know what he is saying. Research on physics is very very strong here at Hopkins, so the opportunities are plentiful for undergraduates to conduct research here. Hopkins is a research powerhouse… spends a lot of money on research, most in the nation for the past 18 years.</p>
<p>JHU has been the #1 spender on research overall for the past 28-29 years CONSECUTIVELY.</p>
<p>
Hmmm…yeaaah, including the Applied Physics Laboratory. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Other schools don’t count research expenditures at their labs.</p>
<p>
Are you serious? Have you lived in any of these places?</p>
<p>^ GoBlue, it is true…LA and Houston have much larger populations than Ann Arbor. ;)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call LA and Houston “college towns”.</p>
