I was able to double major in Biomedical Engineering and Women's Studies and graduate on time and the small friendly communities were extremely supportive.

Tufts is an overpriced, Harvard wanna-be. The teachers are nasty and they suck. All they care about is how much money your parents have.

It is basically an undiscovered gem amidst the hype surrounding Ivy-Leagues and other more well-known schools. The classes are small and the professors and advisors are as open and as available as you could ask for. Also, I can think of no other university who has an on-site, available dietician who is ready to discuss changes and additions that could be made to dining hall menus (I'm a strict vegetarian). Most importantly, Tufts is the most international school one will ever attend--there are at least 10 international kids on my floor.

At Tufts, the administration and faculty are incredibly responsive to the student body. The president is likely to respond to any issue or email sent by a student within minutes and students feel comfortable addressing him with any problem. The professors consider students partners in the search for greater knowledge as well as the application of this knowledge is a globally conscious way. Student opinion is constantly taken into account, whether in designing a new library or refining the menu in the dining halls. Tufts is a university with a global awareness, but never looses sight of the campus community.

It's difficult to narrow down just one thing about a school that makes one decide to attend. Most of the schools that I considered were of a similar size to Tufts and were roughly the same distance from my home, two qualities that I used to narrow down my search. However, Tufts has a GREAT science program, which was very important to me. There were other contributing factors -- the campus is quite lovely, and there is an all girls' dorm (there are also co-ed dorms if one prefers), but it was the science that really called to me.

The theme of Tufts is "Let your life speak". When I was applying to colleges I couldn't help but feel as though only my g.p.a and SAT scores were considered. However, Tufts proved to me that those are only pieces of my puzzle. Tufts allows students to define themselves and offers students the opportunity to pursue what they are passionate about. Whether it's through painting the cannon, a Tufts tradition, participating in the ENVY, a female step team, or volunteering at a local elementary school, every student will find a place at Tufts.

its really liberal, more liberal than others, and the people are pretty friendly

I felt that it has a very worldly focus compared to other colleges. Tufts is very environmentally aware, as well as politically active and a member in the international community. Tufts involves itself with the world, and this rubs off on the students.

My favorite part about Tufts is its size. You can usually always find someone you know, but there are always new people to meet. If you want to take larger classes you can, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. THere are so many resources on campus because it is a prestigious school and students have many opportunities to work on research alongside professors.

Tufts University has a very dynamic campus. I love the university's involvement with the surrounding community and active citizenship philosophy. I also love how the campus stresses strong academics, but also a positive and engaging social community.
