Tour Overview:
Step into Johns Hopkins University (JHU), founded in 1876 as America’s first modern research university. Globally renowned for medicine, public health, and international studies, Hopkins also offers a thriving liberal arts and engineering education in Baltimore’s historic Homewood campus.

Begin at Gilman Hall, the architectural and intellectual heart of the university, and stroll across the Homewood Quad, a Georgian-style green surrounded by academic buildings. Visit the Milton S. Eisenhower Library, the largest in the Hopkins system, and pass by Shriver Hall, the venue for lectures, concerts, and community events.

Explore academic landmarks such as the Whiting School of Engineering, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and learn about the strong student culture around the Hopkins Blue Jays, one of the nation’s top lacrosse teams.

Your student guide will share stories of Hopkins’ transformative alumni and faculty—from Woodrow Wilson and Henrietta Lacks’ legacy in medical ethics to Nobel laureates and space scientists at the Applied Physics Laboratory. You’ll also hear about unique campus traditions, such as Lighting of the Quads, the Spring Fair festival, and the collaborative yet ambitious spirit that defines Hopkins life.

Whether you’re interested in medicine, engineering, public policy, or the humanities, this tour offers a window into Johns Hopkins University—where discovery, innovation, and service to society are central to academic life.
