[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do those compare with Tufts or BC?[/quote]

Tufts > BC = NE = BU

Tufts in an entirely different class [/quote]

Even Elaine Benes whined about having to attend Tufts. It’s a decent school, but what’s it got to make it anybody’s preferred destination? Weird name? Blah campus? Div 3 sports? [/quote]

Happy, thriving students and graduates?[/quote]

As if the other three schools don't have that? Tufts is not meaningfully or measurably better than any of them. [/quote]

Ask a stupid question, get the obvious answer - just don't sound surprised.  Nobody suggested it made one school meaningfully or measurably better, nor was that the challenge. This isn't MIT vs Suffolk. They're all very strong schools that appeal to different kids.  Your "blah," "weird" descriptions would suggest it's not your preference, which is fine.  Perhaps "commuter schools" like NEU and the 3rd best Catholic school or the "glorified public" BU (all other poster's silly descriptions) would be a better place to soothe your insecurities?  I doubt it though, as people seem eager to trash the one they don't happen to prefer.

I've got a kid at one but would've been just as happy if they chose any of them.  We've known multiple bright, high-achievers that either attend or have recently graduated from each.  All have had great experiences despite not being carbon copies of one-another and seeking different social and academic environments.[/quote]

That's what I was referring to[/quote]

Quote did not come through so I'll retype it - someone posted Tufts > BC=BU=NEU, "Tufts in an entirely different class"
That's what this post was in reference to. [/quote]
