Tufts is diversity. The campus itself is a mixture between a small liberal arts college and a major research university and its students have a sense of community while maintaining a global awareness. Students also come from every state in the country and other nations in all corners of the globe. Additionally, cultural houses promote a variety of lifestyles as well as tolerance and respect for all people. Students feel comfortable with each other and continually seek ways to use what they have learned in the classroom to give back as members of a global community.

The financial aide is fantastic, it keeps me in school and with minor debt, which is a lot to hope for when you grow up in a farm family who is going througha divorce.

The best thing about my school is its focus on helping others. There are so many groups on campus that are focused on helping our community and other communities all over the world. This is important to me because I feel that we are all so lucky to be going to Tufts and we should give back to others. These activities also allow me and my classmates to become closer to each other. It is also a great learning experience to be able to work with many different people from many different economic classes and many different countries.

There are many wonderful things about Tufts! I really like the size. We have about 4,500 students; small enough that you see familiar faces every day, but there are always new people to meet, too. This also leads to a small professor-student ratio (ours is about 1:9 on average), so the professors get to know the students (and vice versa). This means that the professors really get to know what works for different students. (The small size also means that takes under ten minutes to walk across campus, so it's difficult to be late for anything!)

This school really cares about its students and makes them its number one priority. The faculty and the administration both make an effort to get to know you and make you feel important and wanted. There is a lot of individualized attention.

My study abroad program was amazing. Tufts did a great job organizing it and our program director was amazing!

The location because it's in a quiet neighborhood, but close to the city.
