What impressed you positively?
Everyone was really nice, and all the students seemed like they loved it there. Also, even though it's in a bad area, the campus security seems very good, almost excessive. I'd feel very safe there.
What impressed you negatively?
I had only heard a little about how competitive the students at Hopkins are, but literally every person whom we spoke with actually brought up the fact that everyone is very helpful and not at all competitive. I don't know why they felt the need to reinforce that so much...it made me a little suspicious.
