[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're both very good schools. Think of it this way - if you're hiring someone and all you have is their college, what comes to mind? For me Wesleyan makes me think creative writing, English lit, hippies. Tufts is more brookas brothers hard science. Tufts is VERY urban. Wesleyan is basically middle of nowhere.[/quote]

First , Tufts is not very urban.  Have you ever seen the campus?  I went there.  It is a campus in a suburb of Boston.  It has grassy quads and is not in the city.  True, it is not in the middle of nowhere as Wesleyan is, but I certainly wouldn't describe it as "very" urban.  I do agree with the description and posted earlier about Wesleyan attracting a more alternative crowd (at least 15 years ago).  Yes, there were those types at types at Tufts too, but when I toured Wesleyan I felt like I was back at a Hiippie Fest (which is great for some, but was not my thing).  Finally, when I went, it was not a fallback school for everyone.  For myself and a bunch of my friends it was our first choice.  I really liked it when I toured, thought the location was excellent, and I had no interest in waiting to see if I would get into Harvard (which I probably would not have anyway, and didn't want to be around such intensity all the time.)  Yes, I knew a couple people where it was not their first choice, but that was certainly not the case for everyone.  [/quote]
