Johns Hopkins University occupies a main campus in the residential Charles Village neighborhood of northern Baltimore, Maryland, approximately three miles from the city's downtown harbor area. Founded in 1876 as America's first research university, the institution features a blend of Federal and Georgian-style architecture across its Homewood campus. The private university maintains its reputation as a leading academic research institution, with particularly strong programs in medicine, biomedical engineering, international studies, and public health?bolstered by its connection to the Johns Hopkins Hospital and Bloomberg School of Public Health. First-year students are required to live on campus in residential colleges, while the university offers various housing options for upperclassmen in both university-owned and affiliated buildings. The university competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Blue Jays, with notable programs in men's lacrosse and fencing.
