The whole world in 140 acres
Everything you could want: within campus, the opportunities to explore and grow at every turn; just outside the gates, a bustling city full of culture and inspiration.
Homewood has it all—green quads, brick pathways, and “The Beach” used for sunbathing, studying, and socializing.
With a traditional campus feel and big city amenities, it’s where Johns Hopkins students live, research, learn, and play.

Living
Residential life is a centerpiece of the college experience where friendships are made and memories are created. Whether in residence halls or apartments, housing is guaranteed for first- and second-year students, regardless if they’re taking courses in-person or online. For upperclassmen, our Off-Campus Housing Office helps connect students to nearby housing options. Most of our off-campus housing is just a few steps from campus in the nearby Charles Village neighborhood, creating a sense of community that lasts throughout your time here.

Dining
What’s almost as important as where you live? What you eat! Hopkins offers lots of meal plan options, and our dining facilities have a commitment to serving high-quality food that is organic and locally sourced whenever possible. We are ranked #4 for dining on college campuses, and have partnerships with over 20 local farmers to provide the best dining options available. From the Fresh Food Cafe (FFC) and Levering Kitchen to Charles Street Market and Nolan’s on 33rd, there are lots of amazing food spots within reach.

Athletics
From football to fencing, varsity athletics at Hopkins amplify school spirit. You’ll find current students cheering on their fellow Blue Jays in “The Nest” seating at Homewood Field. Our men’s and women’s lacrosse teams are Division I and our 22 other teams are Division III. For those looking for something slightly less involved than varsity athletics, Hopkins has a popular club and intramural sports program with unique offerings like Brazilian jujitsu, rugby, and Ultimate Frisbee, or go for more traditional activities like soccer, basketball, and tennis.

Student Clubs
Being a part of a student group is a great way to develop connections, get to know new people, and discover new interests. Many of our students find that the groups they’re a part of define their time at Hopkins. There are over 400 student-run clubs to choose from, along with the freedom to start a new organization, and student unions to hold meetings and shows. From fraternities and sororities to the performing arts, student groups and organizations add dimension and depth to the experiences our students are having.


It's not all about sports—even for our varsity athletes.
