Tufts University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Tufts University? Why?

Andrew

Lack of maintenence with some of the facilities, especially with the dorms (things are planned for the future, but they just never seem to come fast enough).

Jason

Too expensive, a lot of people who deserve this level of education and this environment are unable to afford it.

Daniel

I think the worst thing is that the school can somtimes be homogenous in terms of the type of person who attends.

Laura

They're not very helpful if you're having a personal problem

Abigail

Reputation as a Harvard backup. Harvard has grade inflation - Tufts doesn't.

Christopher

The worst thing for me is the vast majority of liberals. I am a conservative, and I understand that many college campuses are predominantly liberal, but Tufts is much more liberal I feel than any other campus I have been on.

Kevin

I'd say one of the worst things about Tufts is its lack of Division 1 sports. Other than Homecoming Day, most students don't attend sports games, so there's no real sense of school spirit. Also, there is usually a tremendous amount of homework and papers, which may be a contributing reason to the campus' deflated sense of Tufts Jumbos pride.
