Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you have some insights on the size of the undergraduate population at Johns Hopkins. How many students are there? Is it too overwhelming? Let me know, thanks!
Hi! Johns Hopkins University has a medium-sized undergraduate population, with around 6,000 students. It's neither too large, like some public universities, nor too small like some liberal arts colleges. This size allows for an extensive and diverse course offering while retaining the ability to form personal connections with faculty and peers.
It's really up to individual preferences as to whether or not this size feels "overwhelming". For some, the opportunity to constantly meet new people is exciting, while others may prefer a smaller, more close-knit community.
Don't forget that universities often provide resources to help students adjust to campus life. Additionally, participating in extracurricular activities, clubs, sports teams, or residential college systems can make a larger university feel more personalized. For example, Johns Hopkins has more than 400 clubs that facilitate a sense of community among like-minded students.
Remember, choosing a college is a multifaceted decision, so consider factors like size alongside academic offerings, location, culture, and more. Best of luck in your college search!
