Tufts University Top Questions

Tufts students are highly liberal, everyone is friends with anyone they want to be friends with. However, interactions continue to happen as they have for our entire lives: people with like characteristics tend to be drawn to the same groups and therefore people hang out with others who are like themselves.

You will find people you like and can hang out with.

Tufts is pretty white and middle class - like most private universities. There are a bunch of international students, which makes the mix a lot more interesting. There is a bit of religious diversity too. I'm very critical about diversity because I'm from New York City, but I think Tufts does an okay job at diversity compared to other small liberal arts schools. In terms of interaction...I think that the campus is fairly racially segregated, which is lame - it could be worse, though. Students wear pretty regular clothes to class - nothing particularly interesting. Sometimes sweat pants, sometimes jeans and a t-shirt. Students are mostly left (but certainly not as liberal as they think they are). There are also some conservative students on campus. I think that there are few radical thinkers - also lame. There are some politically active students. Sometimes they're hard to find, but they're definitely there.

Tufts has a relatively diverse student body. There is a high proportion of international students; my neighbors are from Columbia, China, Venezuela, and Australia. The New England area is definitely well-represented, though. The campus is definitely politically active; most students are liberal.

Tufts is definitely liberal. Republicans are in the minority and seem to spend a lot of their time frantically defending their political beliefs.

is so diverse. not simply in terms of ethnicity, but also interest, style, etc. there is a small greek life, a strong gay community, a large international body, a competitive athletic culture and then many students who have never been to an athletic event. tufts allows a coexistence of these things, and somehow does so without making it divisive. this said, and although there is a lot of diversity according to the statistics, there is also a lot of self-segregation. it's so unfortunate, but its partly human nature. the tufts admin should do more to encourage intermixing, although i dont know how it would do so.

The student population at Tufts is incredibly diverse, in that the school attracts many international students. However, the financial situations of the student body are not seemingly as diverse, as the majority of students are not on financial aid of any sort. It is a preppy but casual school. Girls enjoy getting dressed up but will also wear sweatpants and sweatshirts to class.

Tufts is not racially diverse but we have students from all over the globe.

Shit, I put all my thoughts in the Big Picture. Quote from me though Tufts offers opportunity to meet people from so many different ethnicities, it's not a melting pot, but a salad bowl (meaning the diversity is not intertwined). You have to be an independent go-getter with an inquisitive to make things happen. If not, then you'll be part of this homogenous clique.

sucks
