The Hopkins Experience

Hopkins students inspire each other to have new experiences, use their voices for the greater good, and grow as individuals as well as members of the community. Our 140-acre residential campus in Baltimore, Maryland, is where our students come together to share ideas with friends and classmates and collaborate on the big challenges society faces today.
