Which Hopkins campus: hospital/medical school campus or Homewood or Bayview?
Mount Vernon and adjacent neighborhoods without more info. Wherever the Hopkins shuttle goes is easiest.

Thank you for your response! Mount Vernon seems like a great option from older posts I have read. I hear, however that it doesn't have many grocery stores...? Is that true?

The largest grocery store is Streets and there are several smaller ones. If you're looking for like a Ralphs-like or Vons-like supermarket experience, you will not find that in any of the neighborhoods near either of those universities.
I am using close loosely now, but the closest to Homewood is probably Abell, Waverly, and probably Hampden. The closest to University of Maryland is probably Federal Hill. Bayview has a Streets Market nearby. And Hopkins Hospital's nearest grocery is probably Safeway or Whole Foods. And to be clear I am using grocery store as to mean medium or small vendors that sell mostly food and a good quantity of fresh food but has some general household items ot and do not specialize in cuisine of a certain ethnic group.
If the grocery stores are the main draw, maybe map them on Google, but there just aren't a whole lotta lotta walkable grocery store situations near universities in Baltimore.

There’s a handful a few blocks away from each other (Streets Market, Po Tung Oriental Grocery, Abinet Ethiopian Market, J&R Food Market, Mt. Vernon Supermarket, Eddie’s of Mt. Vernon - just to name a few).
