Johns Hopkins University Review

Likes

What I like most about this university is its excellence in biomedical research. It is one of the best in the field.
I developed a strong interest in biomedical research during my undergraduate studies, and this university stood out as the ideal place to pursue that passion. It also provides a decent stipend, and the professors, facilities, and overall resources are truly top-notch.

Dislikes

The only downside is that housing near campus can be a bit expensive, but that is a common issue across most universities, so it is not a major concern.
Overall, choosing to come here for my PhD has been one of the best decisions I have made.

Accommodation

Off Campus

We found accommodation using the university's off-campus housing site. Monthly rent for me is $1200 per month. It includes all facilities.

It is off-campus.
My rent is 678 as it's split based on sq feet, it's 3200 for 4bed2bath. Well-equipped kitchen with fridge, dishwasher and oven.
The challenges I faced were finding roommates and making sure it's safe, as Baltimore is known as the crime city

Hopkins review

Accommodation

Off Campus

No accommodations in campus for post graduate students, need to find off-campus.

I choose this for Locations and program curriculum, brand value, tuition fees, total cost. Very good experience considering education and training. Could improve on infrastructure and more placement activities.

University experience for masters program

Likes

I was interested in stem cell research and I got to choose Regenerative and stem cell technology as my concentration for my masters program.
Since I was in the field of Biotechnology, research is the main reason I joined Johns Hopkins University (JHU). JHU is highly reputed as a research institute with various facilities that help students pursue their interest in research and train them with skills required in the industry nowadays. I also like that mostly all the professors have a PhD degree and have knowledge in their field which they can convey to students through lectures and seminars.

Dislikes

Most of the courses are online including few lab courses which are hybrid (online theory and practical in person lab work). Sometimes that becomes an issue for selecting courses for international students specifically as they cannot choose a subject that they like to maintain their student visa status.

Accommodation

Off Campus

I had to stay in an off campus housing which was on a walking distance from the university. I stayed in a 3 bed 2 bath apartment sharing with 2 other flatmates. The total rent for my apartment was 2010$ but my share was 650$ plus utilities and WiFi which was around 100$ total for 3 people.

My overall experience was good. I got to work part time in 3 different labs at the university and gain knowledge of new skills and techniques used in research.

JHU insights

Likes

Immersion Program, Flexibility of Course selection, project based learning.
Its Reputation along with flexibility of program, in which we can take courses from different department and also the courses here are project based so get to learn while working on projects, other important thing I like is the immersion program

Dislikes

The things which I don't like about University is the information is not available easily, the person who don't know the exact url or the location won't be able to access the website or the resources available, this can be improved according to me

Accommodation

Off Campus

Currently I am staying in the 2bd 1b house and the rental ranges from 600-800 on an average.

The overall experience in the university is very good be it the campus infrastructure, the overall curriculum, the faculty.

Demanding program - Chemistry

Accommodation

University does not provide any accommodation for graduate students, we need to rent apartments on our own.

JHU is among the top 10 Universities in the world in chemistry, their chemistry program is very broad and versatile.

Amazing Faculty and Course Curriculum - JHU

Accommodation

Off Campus

I am taking my online classes right now due to the COVID-19 situation, but I've heard that the off-campus accommodations are amazing with friendly neighborhoods.

Johns Hopkins University is one of the top colleges in the world for biomedical sciences. Getting a master's degree from such a prestigious university will be an added asset to my career. It is very important to choose the right college for a specific area of study.

JHU in the eyes of a sophomore

Pre-Medical Program and also the flexibility to take classes outside of the core curriculum with the need to only fill bucket requirements. Additionally, it's in the city so ease of access to various food and entertainment.
