tufts is the shit. i love it. you should come. end of story. QED

Despite the fact that I just shat all over Tufts, I am prepared to admit, you only get out what you put in. I know people who just stay in their room all day and play Halo 3. I also know people who are president of a couple of organizations. You will be who you want to become if you put the time into it. Do not be swayed by extremist groups. Notably, the Democrats. Sometimes the Republicans here have something to say as well. If you're going to be a freshman, be prepared to get made fun of. You're a newbie, and you know what Counter Strike does to noobies. They pwn them. Seriously though, my best friends are seniors that I met when I was a freshman. So get out there and get your feet wet!!

when you get to Tufts, be proactive: seek out people, find out what activities there are, and what opportunities you have to go places, get jobs, etc. And if you have a bad attitude because your class rank wasn't high enough to get you into Brown, we don't really want you here. :)

Being rejected from Harvard was the best thing that ever happened to me, becasue it meant that I chose Tufts.

If you want to go to college to smoke and drink and "go out", you won't be very happy here (though you'll have company.) If you instead want to study and graduate and don't mind the smoking and drinking on the side, you'll be fine. Also, the Naked Quad Run is a disgusting tradition and shames the school. It is a flagrant and encouraged abuse of underage drinking and indecent exposure, and of course, filmed by the townies. If you attend Tufts, please help replace it with something a little more rewarding.

Get rid of the GRE requirement! ....What do they tell you...

Tufts ROCKS!

As a biopsychology major, I found that the same brain classes taught in the biology department were much harder than those in the psychology department. Even though the material was the same, the professors in biology tend grade less favorably.

Most people are happy here, the one's who aren't tend to transfer pretty quickly.

Tufts is great in many respects. I love the academic first and foremost and that is the reason I chose to attend. But then again I am a "nose to the grindstone" kinda cat so that is what I was looking for. The cold is awful and the social scene needs a booster shot but if you want to go to a school where the international community feel is present and you can finally feel like you are making a difference now that your out of that silly high school waste-of-time, then this is the place to be. It is a lot of work and that is not joke, but there is a lot of partying going on at the frats to provide a counter balance if that is your bag.

I am trying to avoid a litany of woe, because I really believe that Tufts is a world class institution. I do, however, have serious reservations about my time here. Many people regard college as their halcyon years and look back on their Alma Mater with nostalgic fondness. This is not my experience. Although I learned a lot during my tenure, I didn’t have enough fun. Only part of this can be ascribed to a failure of character. The university bears real responsibility for the happiness of its students. Unfortunately, Tufts has a long way to go in improving the non-curricular aspects of its campus life.

I love my school!

Tufts can be really intimidating for a lot of people: it feels like everyone is either pre-med, or an international relations major. If you go to Tufts, you're going to be surrounded by incredibly intelligent people. Most kids were in the top of their classes in high school, and it can be difficult to adjust to a school where everyone is smart. It's important to remember that you don't have a become a doctor or a lawyer to legitimize your education. Tufts puts a lot of emphasis on global citizenship and community responsibility: do something you love, do something that will improve the world, and you're doing alright.

Basically, if you are a highly ambitious student looking to make a difference in the world, come to Tufts. Tufts will give you the education, friends, and connections that you could ever want, and you will spend four years here being challenged and motivated. Tufts lacks the pretentious atmosphere that other colleges of its caliber tend to have, and it allows students to explore their educational desires and dreams in a comfortable and truly inspirational atmosphere!

Deciding to come to Tufts was the best decision of my life. I think the saddest day of the year was May 10, 3 days after my last final ended, when they finally kicked me out of my dorm and made me go home for the summer.

I actually hate tufts. Aside from my few closest friends, I hate the people. Everyone thinks they are Gods gift to earth, and they walk,talk and act as if they are. Personal business gets spread all over campus in the blink of an eye. The social scene is horrible and professors dont care about a students personal progress. Professors in the science department are often only teaching because its a requirement for them to conduct their research, so they have alterior motives for teaching which is not the optimal environment for a student to thrive.

College is a bubble of over privileged kids doing whatever they want (including learning). As obnoxious as that sounds - it's a lot of fun.

Tufts colors are baby blue and brown. People tend not to like it at first but they eventually grow on you. Its HOT.
