[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought highly of Tufts and still do.  Love Boston as a college town.  One thing I noticed on our tour was how rundown many of the buildings and campus appeared compared to other Boston schools, especially BC.  BC is also far more accessible to T to get into town and more social (but admittedly, not everyone is a social butterfly).

OP - why does this matter? Visit and if DC likes it, apply. If not, don't. [/quote]

Boston sucks as a college town

The only reason Boston has this reputation is because of the number of schools that started up in Boston and and continue to operate

But as a college town it has huge drawbacks:

- not fun
- bad weather during school year 
- earth shatteringly expensive (rent, living expenses etc) 
- poor public transportation 
- no happy hour 
- not social

The only positive thing about Boston is there is a large number of college students in the area and it is safe

But on almost every other metric, it is not college student friendly or a “great college town” [/quote]

Just because you were a stick in the mud during your time in Boston doesn’t meant that thousands of others students don’t have fun.

My friends and I had a blast.
