Tufts University Top Questions

Very progressive, open-minded, driven, and intellectual

My classmates hail from all over the world as prospective innovators, teachers, activists, doctors, leaders, researchers, etc. with not only a keen desire to learn, but to also actively evaluate and critically challenge our society's ways in order to discover ways to better the world for the future.

Tufts students run the gamut. Generally, students here are politically liberal, and there's a fair amount of "social justice warriors" who make their views and presence on campus very visible. But it's a very accepting community overall.

Tufts students are incredibly difficult to encapsulate just because they have so many different stories. I think what really brings us together is not just that we all have a story, but that the story is always interesting. Tufts is a place where stereotypes come to die, so even when you think you know somebody, s/he will surprise you with all sorts of passions and hobbies that you would never expect. In general, it seems like Tufts students are friendly, fairly average-seeming people who are a lot more fascinating just below the surface. The best way to get what I'm saying here (which probably makes no sense) is to actually talk to students, so make your way to campus or see if you can contact a current student and just have a regular conversation with them.

Most Tufts students are pretty honest, good people. Some are stinkers, like anywhere else. I´ve had my lab reports stolen and the teachers refused to take me seriously because the person who stole it had a very wealthy father.

Diligent and nice students who know how to both work hard and have a great time.

They are a quirky and intelligent bunch; this provides for an intellectual yet very social atmosphere that addresses the diverse interests of Tufts students.

My classmates are socially responsible , studious, and stressed out students that do not need alcohol to have fun.

Have have yet to meet an unkind person at my school. Me and my classmates are a lot like family and we all look out for each other and help each other.

Hardworking, focused, friendly.
