I've just been accepted into Hopkins FNP program, and have NO idea where to move next month! Should I live near the campus? Take transportation in? Will I need a car in Baltimore? I've heard about a shuttle, which seems like a good idea. Any advice would be awesome. :) Thanks! I'm so lost!
Cranberrygirl 21 Posts Apr 26, 2010 Hi Joie,Here is a link that gives many opinions. Owings Mills is outside the city and has a train that goes straight to Hopkins (I took it for my clinicals at Hopkins and recall it was about a 30-minute ride). I hear the immediate area around Hopkins in undesirable but they are trying to revitalize it. I have been living in MD all my life and would never move to that area, but you may be more adventurous. Depends where you live, but I would say you need a car. Good luck! http://www.city-data.com/forum/baltimore/6862-working-johns-hopkins-hospital-where-live.html
