  • Hello my Nakama!
    In this video I share with you three reasons why I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University and also take you on a tour of campus. This was definitely a fun video to make so let me know if you'd like to know more about what Johns Hopkins is like. Dattebayo!

    Thanks for the video I actually love to see students tell their experiences in college because I don’t know were to go but based off mu research Hopkins is my first choice. I’m currently in 10th grade well i finish it tomorrow but anyway i’m really interested in this school but I am from the caribbean, Puerto Rico actually so I have never lived in the USA and I haven’t experienced cold weather like the coldest it has been here is like 70 degrees but anyway I wanted to know, is Baltimore a good place to live, like overall because i’ve read that Baltimore isn’t a safe place and specially the area Hopkins is at and that made me rethink my decision. Also did you like your experience in the school like did you make friends, or was everyone very competitive and didn’t want to be friends?

    Cool video, Daniel! I'm looking to apply to JHU this fall but I was worried that the coursework for STEM majors makes it overwhelming and difficult to enjoy doing other activites. In what ways might JHU seem like an all-work-no-play kinda place, and how do you think otherwise? Also, were there any cool parties? :)

    Hi Daniel! I just watched your video and I loved it! I am currently trying to decide where to go to college and I got into Hopkins for BME; I currently intend on pursuing a PhD and potentially also an MD and I was wondering if for med school you would want to return to Hopkins or if you would want to go somewhere else so you can build other networks. Also, I am from the West Coast and have never seen snow let alone experience harsh winters so could you give me insight into what the weather was like at Hopkins? Thank you !!!

Also it’s pretty much hot summers and cold winters in Bmore with occasional snow but if you’ve never seen snow it’ll be fun! People build snowmen and make the most of the cold weather. Also huge congrats on getting in that is an amazing accomplishment to get into their BME program. I’m sure you’ll go far in your endeavors 😁

    Idk if you going to read this, but anyways. I'm at University of São Paulo - Brazil, currently at the "medical course". It's rated high in the QS Ranking, but not as high as JHU. I was wondering, how hard would it be, for me, as a brazilian, to get into JHU undergraduation program, or other American University. I mean, I am 18 at the time I'm writing this, and I'm also concerned about the age, is there a "limit". I'm really new to it, but I'd love if you (or anyone else that knows) could give me some more details about it.

      Since you're a girl, you can get into to just about any frat. Frats are pretty shitty though, there are only 3 decent ones for fun parties. There are only about 5 weekends per semester that have really good parties, the other weekends are mostly dead. The trend is that freshman typically do a lot of frat partying, and as you get older, less people go to on-campus parties and just have hangouts with friends or go to the city because the party scene can get old quickly. Most people find the time to go out on weekends and go to PowerPlant on Thursday's which is also fun. There's definitely a "grind" mentality on campus, even people who are IS or Econ spend a lot of time studying. If you're pre-med, stem, or in Whiting, get prepared for one hell of a ride.

    • @DanielKaganov
      @DanielKaganov  Před 4 lety +3

      Hi Ea Ten! Sure so I fell in love with chemistry in high school and although chemical engineering and chemistry are very interwoven, chemistry usually has to do with the more theoretical and conceptual like thinking while chemical engineering kind of takes established practices and makes them more efficient or large scale in terms of industry. I knew I either wanted to do a PhD or go into medicine and I didn’t feel it was necessary to have a chemical engineering degree to do either of those as I enjoyed pure chemistry more.

My grades are decent, but I've some good ECs, like I created a website, I was part of a research activity conducted by ISRO, I even created a small game by coding. But since the ED deadline was in 30 mins, my supplement essay wasn't up to the mark and was decent according to me. What do you think the chances of me getting in are? Like does JHU look are essays and grades alone or can my ECs act as an equalizer? P.S. I'm an international student and the decision date for ED is in 3 days lol

    • @DanielKaganov
      @DanielKaganov  Před 4 lety +1

      Hey Peter so I never experienced any of the cut-throat myths associated with Hopkins. My chemistry major department was pretty small and we were a supportive and tight knit group. Nowadays college is extremely expensive and UMich is an amazing school so if it makes more financial sense for you then you wouldn’t be sacrificing anything just saving a few hundred thousand dollars lol.

    Thank you for this video! Quick question about research/opportunities in general: Did you ever feel like since there are so many graduate students at Johns Hopkins University, that opportunities were often more geared/marketed towards those, rather than undergraduate students? (Such as research, classes, opportunities, internships, etc) Thank you!

    • @DanielKaganov
      @DanielKaganov  Před 4 lety +2

      Hi Lacey! Thanks for watching. That is not the case at all! What happens usually is that of course the grad student is overseeing an entire research project because that is their PhD but an undergraduate student will most likely assist the graduate students with a component of their project which is exactly what I did in my chemistry research.

I appreciate a lot if you can share any information with me!

      Hi Xiaowei that is fantastic I’m happy you got in! So first if you live with a roommate and find a decent location rent can be as little as $600-700 a month to as high as $1300 if you are in a single by yourself. As for safety conditions with the “Hopkins Bubble” it is very safe since there is campus security within a 2 mile radius around the entire school and the area is nice anyways. Of course there are parts of Baltimore that are of less socioeconomic status and unfortunately there is more crime in that area however it is somewhat removed from where the Hopkins campus is located. Just have a head on your shoulders at night or when in the city and you’ll be fine haha.
