Financial assistance available to transfers, especially those entering in the spring semester, is very limited and students desiring aid should be cognizant of the application deadlines. The University cannot offer financial assistance to international students. Non U.S. citizens who do not possess U.S. Permanent Resident status must complete the Declaration and Certification of Finances form to show their ability to meet fully the financial obligations of attending Hopkins. Applications will be considered incomplete until this information is received. The University owns apartment buildings to accommodate upperclass students who desire University-owned residences.
Units range in size from single rooms to four bedroom apartments.
Most units are furnished and include utilities in the price of the rent. University apartments are available on 9 or 12 month lease terms. There is also an abundance of privately-owned housing within walking distance of campus. Hopkins has an extensive orientation program designed to help familiarize new students with the University and its community. Planned social and recreational activities vary from year to year but usually include a visit to the National Aquarium, a cruise of the Inner Harbor, and a night of Orioles baseball.
