Charles Commons Dorm Reviews at Johns Hopkins

Most up to date dorm with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Can be quite loud given all the neighborhood construction going on. Very convenient location near dining hall, St. Paul shops and restaurants. Gym is quite small though

The way Charles Commons is set up makes it perfect for those who enjoy their own apartment/suite-like living space while still living within a close community. Given I love to cook, I also really enjoy the kitchenette! Great for any chefs out there! I have loved being here; just a walk from campus and a turn to the city, I have all kinds of activities at my fingertips. Charles is a really great mix between a social dorm and an apartment-like living space.

Charles Commons has a convenient location and decent rooms. Overall, I think it is arguably the best choice for sophomore housing. Homewood Apartments are quite a bit bigger, depending on the room, but they are further from campus. So it really depends on what you care most about.
