How is the dating pool for wlw people? Yes cliche question I know, but can the CURRENT student body speak and provide their own experiences on this. and please don't be saying "join lgbt club/orgs" because it's just not my scene. do girls tend to be straight here or is there still a big wlw group present. lmk thank you
How safe are these dorms? I’ve heard a few people say that they have heard of a gunpoint muggings very close there? Thanks
Hi! I've heard that AMR 2 is really social, but I'm wondering if Wolman has been more social this past year. AMR 2 has a nice location and cheaper cost, but ultimately I'd like to live wherever is the most social.
hello! if anyone knows, does everyone that doesn't make the 300k family income cutoff have to pay full tuition? thanks for your help! 😄
Hi, guys! Do you know if a humanities major (foreign languages, International relations, sociology, etc) has to take Precalc/calculus (instead of say, Statistics)?
Does everyone have to take calc at JHU?
The results on the Math Placement test (path A) only suggests the calculus route.
I'm not looking for the easy way out, just want to understand my options (I'm FGLI and don't have many people around me to explain things). Thanks.
Heyy there! I unfortunately missed my girlfriend's masters commencement ceremony Livestream which happened yesterday (18th may 2026). I would be immensely greatfull if anyone can send me the link to the Livestream archive for it. It would mean a lot to see her graduate even if I can't be with her physically!
this is just a really long laundry list of questions, would be grateful for any insight
- do amr 3 residents get access to the basement level of amr 2 with the music rooms/social lounges, etc?
- for amr 3, how is the climate control usually? i get that it's central, but is it typically at a comfortable temperature?
- do people use the cardio machines a lot in mccoy/wolman or are they typically available?
--> also for mccoy/wolman, what machines do they have?
- what on EARTH do yall use the theater at wolman for?
- how active are the social lounges in each respective dorm? or it kinda dependent on the freshman class?
- how often do people use the communal kitchens?
thanks for all your help!
Hi, do you know if registering as soon as housing opens gives a higher chance of getting the dorm you prefer? Incoming freshman. Thanks!
I’m wondering if I should go full suit, sport jacket, or just nice dress pants and shirt with tie. I was just going to go with a full suit to be safe, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone knows what’s common.
has anyone done this? i’m not a film major but i’m interested in working in the creative /entertainment industry
Got a C in Gen Bio I and B in Gen Bio II this semester. Would anyone recommend retaking Gen Bio I or recommend any Biology course. Any general advice for effectively preparing for Biology/Chemistry coursework is also well appreciated.
For context: Have tried recorded lectures, practice problems, and textbook if it helped. Struggle concentrating in large lecture halls
i’m an incoming (probably) transfer student who’s likely pre law and not a stem major, and i’ve heard that the career fairs suck?
i’m rlly nervous but hopkins is my top option because of the aid i got (wanting to go to grad school/be in a city) and i don’t wanna regret it.
As an upcoming freshman, I took the math placement test results and scored a 33. This is borderline within the range for calc II 27-33. I wasn't really trying too hard when taking it and took like 1 hr 30 mins, but will this make it harder for me to convince my advisor to let me take lin alg/diffeq my first semester? I already took lin alg in HS and I have my calc BC 5 credit.
hey guys, sorry, not sure if this is the right forum. a couple weeks ago i posted a message asking about which college i should go to out of ucla/cmu/ucsd/jhu/hmc, and because we were waiting on aid from hopkins we had to put down deposits for JHU and also HMC.
i thought i wanted to do medicine (i’ve also gotten a seat for mbbs at manchester in the UK). but now im leaning towards engineering (math has always been my fav subject, 4 years, immediate income). i’m just so confused. i have no idea what to pick! do you guys have any thoughts?
thank you so so so much :)
Does anybody know what the deal is with all the placement stuff? There’s some placement thing for math that’s due June 1st and I just found out about it. Is it mandatory or worth doing? i heard there’s some tests we gotta take for chemistry or something as well. Can anybody clarify?
im an incoming freshmen meche major an am wondering if I “need” an ipad? or j wondering how highly someone would recommend to buy one.
Pretty sure last year the first wave was around 5/8. Anyone heard of people getting off the waitlist? Did a lot of people not end up going?
Hey all. I just finished the MSIA program here at JHU. I've seen some questions before regarding this program in particular. I'm open to answer any questions about it the best I can.
