This is to supplement JHU's information on how to get to campus for all of you who will interview here soon!
From the airport: Take the MARC train to Baltimore Penn Station (it costs around $5.00).
There is a FREE Hopkins shuttle that runs from Penn Station (train station) to the medical school. The shuttle is quite reliable. You will pick it up on the St. Paul side of Penn Station (take a left when you exit the front door of the train station, and wait at the bus stop shelter). The bus will usually be a big blue and white bus that says "Johns Hopkins" on the side, but may also be a school bus or a white bus (if the normal one is broken).
You can access the shuttle schedule here:

Click on the "Shuttle Schedule" link on the right to see the most recent schedule.
The next stop after Penn Station is the Peabody Conservatory, so stay on the bus. The next stop after the Peabody Conservatory is the Hampton House on the JHMI campus. GET OFF HERE! Reed Hall is the building next to the Hampton House (same side of the street as the bus stop). If you are heading toward the admissions building, cross the street from where you got off and continue down North Broadway.
IMO: Don't take the subway! The $3 you are saving are not worth the time/multiple transfers/inconvenience/sketchiness!
Good Advice. The other option if for some reason the train schedules dont match with your flight times etc is to take the super shuttle from the airport. This shuttle can take anywhere between 30-90 minutes to drop you off around the medical campus depending on what time of the day you get to the airport and how many people are waiting in line. The cost of this shuttle is a 21$ flat fee and you generally tip the driver 1-2$ if you like.
