Hi @epi-PH_PHD_2017, I am currently working on the medical campus and just accepted an offer from the school of engineering for a PhD program (RA in a lab on the medical campus, department on the Homewood campus). The housing around the school of medicine is rather inexpensive, to my knowledge. However, it can be very unsafe from what I know i saw in the past few weeks of being here. As I relocated to Baltimore I found a great apartment right next to the Homewood campus in Charles Village - very inexpensive studio in a quiet and safe neighborhood with plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, cafes and bars 3 blocks away. It takes me about ~25 minutes to get to the medical campus each morning, which does not inconvenience me in any way. Mt. Vernon is also on the shuttle line and is a beautiful most historic area in Baltimore, to my current knowledge. Prices are just a bit higher from what i could see when viewing apartments here. It will take you about 15 minutes to get from Mt. Vernon to both the school of public health and the Homewood campus by bus. Also, some of my friends who currently live by the school of medicine will be relocating elsewhere soon due to the safety concerns. Hope this helps. Please feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
