Life at BME

The close-knit family that forms the biomedical engineering program at Johns Hopkins creates a rare environment that encourages collaboration and collegiality. Both the Department and the University offer a broad range of social and cultural activities, recreational and athletic facilities, and opportunities to exchange information and ideas.

Think great museums, America’s first music conservatory, and crab cakes. You’ll find rolling green hills, a harbor filled with billowing sails, and the Ravens and Orioles at play on their field of dreams. There are vibrant neighborhoods, interesting restaurants and markets, and a new BioTech Park underway. There’s the National Aquarium, and an hour away, the nation’s capital with its vast cultural and educational resources. There is energy, optimism, and a vision for the future.
