John Hopkins is an ideal college for students who want to get away from home but at the same time be close. This private college is in an urban setting and has four campuses for students to roam. Classroom sizes are fairly small; at a 9:1 faculty to student ration. Only about 11 percent of classrooms have more than 50 students. It is perfect for students who want to a have variety of classroom sizes. However, this college is painfully hard to get into. The acceptance rate is is barely under 20 percent. Popular majors include Public Health and International Relations and Affairs. John Hopkins isn’t too big of a school; the population is around the same as AHS. There are about an equal amount of females and males in this college. Like many other colleges, there are common safety measures taken, such as 24 hour vehicle and foot patrol. Health insurance and financial assistance is available and many students get the financial help they need.

This college is right for you if…

-You want to stay close to home, but get away.

-You have the drive to get into a selective college.

-You want a variety of class sizes.

-You need financial assistance.
