Social life

While Johns Hopkins has consistently provided a high standard of undergraduate and graduate education, the school has received more mixed reviews of its success in developing an active social life for its students. Several peer rating sites, including Campus Dirt, and Students Review, show that many students have given Hopkins poor grades for its social life. A May 6th, 2005 article in The Johns Hopkins News-Letter began ?Hopkins social life is under siege.? Both Johns Hopkins and the Charles Village community, however, have been striving to improve the neighborhood for students and community members. The Charles Village Project, scheduled for completion in 2008, will bring new commercial spaces to the neighborhood. Hopkins has also invested heavily in improving campus life for its students with the recent completion of brand new performing arts and recreation centers.
