Ivy League rejects

Some of the very first stereotypes I heard about Tufts was the lack of athletic spirit and the lack of parties. I was told that the most popular haven to go on a Friday night would be the library, and students had absolutely no social lives. I also heard about the ultra-preppy and rich lifestyle that most Tufts students lead, and that I should definitely expect a healthy dose of Chanel and Prada while I walk to class.

Preppy, indie, all white, spoiled international kids

Many people think Tufts is the Ivy-reject school and that Tufts kids are really bitter that they didn't get into Harvard or Yale, but that is not true. Tufts is an incredibly selective school, and Tufts students really are happy to be here. Tufts is fantastic because it's a work hard-party hard school; it's pretty rare that you get the combination of really fun, normal kids who are also brilliant. Most of us joke that everyone at Tufts is socially awkward, which may be true...but we're all socially awkward together and we definitely know how to have a good time. Tufts is also known as pretty preppy and JAPpy (Jewish American Princesses), which I won't deny.
