Great university with a reputation to boot definitely. But the tuition fees and living costs of Baltimore is definitely not student friendly. To add to the problem, the university does not offer any kind of scholarship options for international students, some departments have options for tuition waivers for Masters students if they have completed their course requirements within the first two semesters. Most of the departments work on projects more related to biomedical topics, due to the overwhelming influence of JHU School of Medicine. I am surprised that Hopkins maintains such a high ranking in Engineering, as far as my experience goes the university does not have sufficient depth or rigor in engineering. The university does not do much for helping the graduate students with jobs, the JHU Career Network is of limited use and loads the job directory with computer or finance related job listings only and that too, meant only for US citizens or permanent residents. I like the impact of the university on my resume, but I had a difficult time here largely due to the financial burden.
