[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC liked Tufts after virtual session.
Liked the SMFA art program.
Planned to double major with computer science and art

After visitiing the school, corossed it off the list because
1. The campus is far off from boston and didn't look appealing
2. To take the art classes at SMFA, you have to make around 40min(one way) commute from the main campus.

It’s true that Tufts is not in Boston. The campus is officially in Medford, but much of it is actually in Somerville as it straddles both suburbs. That said, to our DC it is not “far off” from Boston. It is a 10 minute bike ride from Harvard Square and 20 min T ride from Boston and they are opening a new T extension and stop this spring on the campus. Although PP is correct the SMFA shuttle takes longer, which is why SMFA students live in the city. For our DC Tufts offers the best of both urban and suburban. There are few schools that do the same. They chose it over several rural SLAC for that specific reason. I think it’s a bit of “to each their own.”[/quote]

For college kids, Somerville + Davis/Porter/Harvard/Central Squares are for many a lot more lively and fun than Boston proper.  There are so many college-aged people around and so much to do.  It's a fantastic location to be a student. A lot of Tufts students live off-campus in Somerville.[/quote]
