I have not found the housing around Hopkins (CV and Hampden) or even the Homewood campus to be particularly accessibility friendly. It was only when
a prospective student visited my academic building on the Homewood campus that I realized the ramps and elevators were laid out such that you'd have to travel in the least efficient way possible to get around. That said I am sure you can figure out a way to negotiate routes to get around. Wish it were better.

In general, I found that the campus was /reasonably/ accessible — there were ramps everywhere, but yeah sometimes you had to take a circuitous route. But then again, my standards for accessibility for academic buildings are in the gutter because my current program is housed in a landmarked building in NYC which has no accessible entrance, so even having a ramp is a breath of fresh air.

I hear you! It's def ADA compliant its just only when you're walking with someone using crutches that you realize how it wasn't very thoughtfully laid out. Glad(if that's the right word here?) its an improvement though.
