Arriving and Departing Campus
Traveling to Baltimore
Here are a few modes of transportation to consider. Once you've arrived, please be clear that your destination is the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University – not the hospital.

Arriving by Train
Amtrak’s Baltimore – Pennsylvania Station, better known locally as Penn Station, is 10 minutes driving time to the south entrance of the Homewood campus.
Getting to Homewood Campus
Homewood Campus is located at 3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218.
