As an incoming freshman at Hopkins, you’ll receive many welcomes to Baltimore, the city you can now call home. You’ll receive advice on how to engage and interact with the city as part of your freshman programming, yet it often overlooks a key aspect of participating in daily life in Baltimore: how to get around. If you’re anything like me, a New Yorker who never had to learn how to drive, coming to Baltimore may feel like a big change for you. It’s no secret that Baltimore’s transit options somewhat lag behind other Northeastern cities. However, with a little bit of knowledge and patience, you’ll be able to get yourself around the Baltimore area like an expert.

As a freshman, there seems to be endless things to look for: your dorm key, where your classes are, the best coffee order on the Brody menu and the answers for that weekly assignment. To have “found” something often implies that you were once aware of its absence, or were in need of it to the point where you were searching for something that you felt empty without.

So if you’re ever feeling like you have yet to find your place at Hopkins, here’s a list of some places to look:
