[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has narrowed his list down to Tufts & Wesleyan.

He attended both admitted student days but still doesn’t have a great feel for what the social life would be like.

It sounded like maybe Wesleyan might be a closer-knit community?

He wants to have fun but isn’t a hard core partier.

Dating? He is at an all-boys HS so it’s definitely a consideration.

Both colleges have slightly higher female to male ratios, so dating options should be fine!

Tufts have 7,000 undergrads, Wes has 3,000 so there's more to choose from at Tufts to find your people. The people at DS's school who got to Wes lean more artsy/alternative. The people at DS's school who go to Tufts are a bit more normie but there's enough people there to find all kinds. Wes is kind of in the middle of nowhere but feels less remote than Midd and Carleton, but it's still a LAC at the end of the day. And Yale is only 30-ish minutes away. Tufts is off of Davis Square/Somerville which is very hip once you walk a few blocks out of campus. Cambridge is very close (access to free Harvard museums and parties) and Boston proper is on the T ($5 return trip) or a 30-ish minute uber ride away. Tufts is bigger, so if you go, definitely sign up to do the pre-orientation, and lean to clubs/activities/intramural sports. Wes has a bigger athlete/non-athlete divide.

Both are great - congrats OP![/quote]
