Study Abroad: Hopkins offers three different types of studying abroad: Departmental Programs that directly support major/minor requirements, Direct Enrollment in a University Abroad where students directly enroll in other institutions and later transfer credit back to Hopkins, and Vetted Programs that offer courses in specific areas, disciplines, or locations where direct enrollment may not be feasible.
Sports: Hopkins fields 24 varsity teams, 22 of which compete in NCAA Division III. The other two, men's and women's lacrosse, both compete in Division I in the Big Ten Conference. Eighteen of their programs are members of the Centennial Conference.
Campus Housing/Greek Life: Dorms are typically only available to first and second year students. Freshman housing is centered around the Freshman Quad, which consists of three residence hall complexes: The two Alumni Memorial Residences (AMR I and AMR II) plus Buildings A and B. The AMR dormitories are each divided into houses, subunits named for figures from the university's early history. Freshmen are also housed in Wolman Hall and in certain wings of McCoy Hall, both located slightly outside the campus. Students determine where they will live during sophomore year through a housing lottery. Most juniors and seniors move into nearby apartments or row houses.
Hopkins has become home to nine sororities and eleven fraternities. Of the nine sororities, five belong to the National Panhellenic Conference and four to the Multicultural Greek Council Sororities. Over 1,000 students participate in Greek life, with 23% of women and 20% of men taking part.
Popular Clubs & Activities: Hopkins offers a lot, from —singing or kayaking, taking pictures or building robots, to discussing international relations or playing Quidditch (yes, we have a team). Some of our more popular clubs include Jail Tutorial and Consulting Club, although we also have a large a cappella scene whose groups often compete nationally, as well as many cultural groups. Students are encouraged to form their own clubs, so there are more than 400 undergraduate student-run clubs and organizations.
