The state of Maryland has an unusual topography, as it extends from the Atlantic Ocean shore to the Allegheny and Appalachian mountains, and thus offers a wide variety of recreational facilities. The population of Baltimore, a port city on the renowned Chesapeake Bay, and its surrounding area is approximately 2 million. The city supports many educational and cultural institutions, including the National Aquarium, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Baltimore Symphony, the Baltimore Opera, the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, the Maryland Institute College of Art, the Center Stage and Morris Mechanic theaters, to name only a few. The Homewood Campus of the Johns Hopkins University is adjacent to one of the finest residential areas of the city, where a significant fraction of the student, staff and faculty population resides.
