M.S. in Data Science - Batch of 2024

Offered by Johns Hopkins University

4.8

Academic and research centric university.

Tips: The university is very rigorous in terms of academics so be prepared for that. Apart from that, sports and other clubs are also very active but mainly education and research are their forte. If you want to explore your interests in the research field, this is the best option for you.

Likes (Safety): The university spends a good amount of money on students' safety despite the city being very unsafe. They have their own police force, they have deployed security at several locations and also they have their own transport shuttle which provides point-to-point service from evening till late night.

Dislikes (Internships): Getting an internship is comparatively more difficult than getting a research assistantship at the university. They don't have many industrial connections in other departments than Biotech, Bioinformatics, etc. People in these fields may get some departmental help, but others may have to look on their own for jobs and internships.

MS in Biotechnology - Batch of 2024

Offered by Johns Hopkins University

A University of Paradise where faculties are top class.

Tips: Before joining to the University, I would ask all the prospective students to make sure they have all the original documents and also at least 5-10 copies of each. You never know when it will be required. While arriving make sure to have some cash in hand as it is really important for traveling and as we don't know the location.

Likes (Indian Food): The Johns Hopkins University campus is situated at various locations in the US and Europe. My campus is really great and beautiful. It is very diverse and is filled by students across the globe. Coming from India, here the campus culture is really great, it is very diverse. We are able to interact with different national students and get to know about their culture, tradition and also their language.

Dislikes (Student Life): At The Johns Hopkins University, the faculties are of top class. They all are highly qualified and are well established research scholars. Each of the faculty has a laboratory headed by them in which the faculties are encouraged to pursue their research. The laboratory facilities here at The Johns Hopkins University is of top class. The classrooms are very well diversified. Under the guidance of such faculties, the students who really have a passion for research are found and picked up to pursue their ideas. The faculties are student-friendly and so will clear the student's doubts anytime and anywhere.

M.S. in Computer Science - Batch of 2024

Offered by Johns Hopkins University

Low ROI and quality after spending huge amount.

Tips: This university is not very good for Master's in CSE and most of the courses are medical domain oriented. Low ROI and quality after sending a huge amount. This university is good for doing a PhD in Computer Science, and Chemical Engineering as they have a huge budget for the medical domain.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part-time options available in university though they pay less. Johns Hopkins University offers a variety of part-time opportunities for students, providing a way to gain experience, meet people, and earn some extra income. However, while these positions are plentiful, the pay is generally modest. Many students work as research assistants, lab assistants, or administrative aids in various departments. These roles can be excellent for gaining hands-on experience, especially for students in Science, engineering, or health-related fields, where they can work directly with faculty members on projects that align with their academic interests. There are also opportunities in campus facilities, such as working at the library, student centres, dining services, or assisting with events and campus activities. These jobs often require fewer specialized skills, making them accessible to a wide range of students, even those in their first year. However, the wages for these roles tend to be lower than in private-sector part-time jobs, which can be a downside for students trying to balance their budgets, especially given Baltimore's cost of living. Additionally, some students take on Course Assistant (CA) or Teaching Assistant (TA) positions. While these roles usually provide a bit more pay and valuable teaching experience, they often require a significant time commitment and may be limited to students who have excelled in specific courses.

Dislikes (Indian Food): You have to make your own food. Baltimore has a few Indian restaurants, but the experience can vary significantly, especially for students living off-campus. While I don't rate it 1 star, the challenges often make it feel that way, particularly for those accustomed to authentic Indian flavour. First, the taste and authenticity can be hit or miss. Some restaurants try to cater to a broader audience, which can dilute the spice levels and flavour depth essential in Indian cuisine. This sometimes results in dishes that lack the richness and complexity of Indian home-cooked food, making it underwhelming for someone familiar with it. Another issue is the limited options for affordable, good-quality Indian food close to popular student neighbourhoods. Even if you find a good place, the prices are often higher compared to cooking at home. For students, budgeting is crucial, and eating out frequently at such rates isn't sustainable. Delivery options, which are sometimes the only way to access Indian food from off-campus, can be unreliable or add extra cost, compounding the convenience. Finally, some ingredients used here don't have the same freshness or flavor as they would in India, imparting the food quality. For those who have the time and resources, cooking at home is often the best way to satisfy authentic Indian cravings. While Baltimore does offer a taste of Indian cuisine, the experience just doesn't match the expectations of those who grew up enjoying it authentically, hence the sentiment.
