Describe Tufts University to someone who's never heard of it.

I've had a lot of practice with this because there are a lot of people out there who haven't heard of Tufts! I usually describe it as a small to medium-sized liberal arts school just outside of Boston. I also mention that Tufts is unusual in its population: students are exceptionally engaged and active on-campus, whether it be through entrepreneurial endeavors, political campaigns, or just joining dozens of clubs. As cliche as it sounds, Tufts is a place where expressing your individuality is truly and openly embraced. That being said, it's "quirky" reputation doesn't mean it's so different from every other college. Although I truly believe the student body is more engaged than they would be at another campus, our classes, sports, greek life, etc. are not a radical departure from your stereotypical university.
