The Peabody Institute is located in the central section of the city, about a mile south of Homewood. The medical institutions are in the east-central section, about three miles from Homewood. These three Baltimore institutions, as well as the central locations where students reside, are connected to the Homewood campus by a free Hopkins shuttle bus, which runs frequently. Most graduate classes are small and give students an excellent opportunity for advanced training and creative investigation. The faculty becomes well acquainted with the individual students from the early part of their stay in the department.
Original research is emphasized.
