[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Davis Square neighborhood near Tufts (where the T stop is located) is actually great.  They have a candlepin bowling alley, an old restored movie theater with reasonable prices and cheap concessions that also has live performances, a bunch of coffee houses, pubs and restaurants (some of which are reasonably priced).  The used bookstore unfortunately closed a few years back.

I lived in Davis Square for 3 years and miss it sorely.  Anyone who says Medford is a dump hasn't tried to buy a single family or two-family home there in the last 15 years.  I wouldn't pay those prices to live in a dump.

Can't speak to the educational experience at Tufts, but I certainly wouldn't avoid it because of location.  [/quote]

I am the person who thinks the area around Tufts is a dump. I think your post actually supports my claim. I don't think my kid would be too excited by the proximity of candlepin bowling. One doesn't go to college in Boston or Cambridge to have the amenities of LAC in New Hampshire or Maine. And face it most college kids don't have the time to take a bus then the subway (the T in Boston) to amenities - if they go to college in the city they want the amenities to be outside their dorm door. I just don't think the setting is great relative to the other colleges in the area. But to each his/her own of course.[/quote]
