Great news

Today was quite a day! I made my way to JHU and got a visitor’s badge. Then I spoke with an MPH advisor, Tara, and a really terrific professor named Dr. Marie Diener-West, who both helped me decide which courses to take. I then filled out forms for the nice people in the registrar’s office and financial aid office. Can you believe I attended two lab classs and one lecture already today?? Everyone here at JHU has been extraordinarily warm and has made us Tulane students feel so welcome. All of the usual hoops and red tape have been eliminated for us, so I was able to get enrolled, get an ID badge and e-mail address and attend classes already on the first day. They even had a special welcome meeting for us and fed us lunch. I am very impressed with JHU’s organization, as well as the competence and friendliness of its staff. The School of Public Health building and its classrooms and equipment are state of the art, comfortable and designed with students in mind. All in all, I am very happy with things so far.
