[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pair Wesleyan with Conn College for their socially liberal atmospheres, perhaps along the lines of that of Brown or Skidmore. The arts, from film to dance, are popular at these schools.

Trinity students, as a generality, may be relatively career oriented, with some hoping for futures in New York City. Trinity squash teams have been nationally renowned.

Tufts lacks a discernible culture.

Tufts kids are very bright, generally pretty mainstream. Used to be a lot of kids who just missed Ivies and have a bit of a chip on their shoulder about it - not sure if this is still the case. Excited to be in Boston-area and a clear notch ahead of BU.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s the case anymore.

These days, many students at Boston schools are those who 'just missed the Ivies.'(or MIT). 
It really just comes down to personal preference. The culture and vibe of these schools are all distinctly different.

If you don’t have a clear preference and are simply focused on the Boston area, then yes, I’ve seen students apply to all of Tufts, BU, BC, and NEU. LACs are a completely different category.

Other than that, I don’t see much difference among the applicants, and the schools attract students of pretty similar caliber.
