With 11 campuses scattered between Baltimore and Washington, it is sometimes difficult to explain Johns Hopkins University to someone who isn?t part of the system. A $7 million bequest from Johns Hopkins ? a wealthy 19th-century Baltimore entrepreneur and philanthropist ? established Johns Hopkins University in 1876 and Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889.

Now, the school is larger, in terms of research funding, than Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology combined. It is one of the foremost medical schools in the country.
