[quote=Anonymous]Our DD (who also has competitive stats for a more selective college) also fell in love with Tufts on our recent April tour and is planning to ED there now. We visited on two days at different times. We were there for a morning tour and had a great info session (AO Will?) and then a decent tour guide. DD was pretty sold by then, but the next evening stopped by around 5:00 to see a friend and saw the campus looking socially vibrant to a degree we didn't observe in the morning - everyone was out on the lawns, talking, playing games, and students in the dining hall were all sitting in groups and talking. No one was alone or on phones. We had this experience at a couple of other schools too - visiting at different times of day and getting a really varied social impression.

It's funny to hear the range of opinions about the curb appeal of the Tufts campus - I had read online that many people don't like it and that kids cross it off their list after visiting, but we found it to be lovely and were pleasantly surprised. We're also encouraged by the fact that the few kids we know who have landed at Tufts in recent years are complete gems.

@PP who mentioned the Amherst info session: we had the same negative experience last week. AO with the red lipstick giving a stuffy and self-congratulatory speech and displaying outright condescension in response to questions and comments from the audience. Shockingly bad for a school of that caliber. Then we had a tour with the most personable and articulate kid I've met in years and he completely saved the school for our DD. They should make him AO.
