Two Hopkins libraries serve student research needs: the medical campus Welch Medical Library, and the undergraduate campus Milton S. Eisenhower Library.

Cinema and theater, symphony, museums and galleries, the National Aquarium Baltimore, the Maryland Science Center, and the many fine restaurants are enjoyed by residents and tourists alike. Don't miss Oriole Park at Camdem Yards, baseball's show-case stadium, and the Ravens NFL football team at M&T Bank stadium. Horse racing, sailboating, fly-fishing, and lacrosse matches speak of other popular Maryland sports. Nearby mountains and shorelines also provide historical and scenic diversity. Only an hour from Washington, D.C., two hours from Philadelphia, and three and a half hours from New York City, Baltimore provides a good base for various activities these cities offer.
