[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS finished first semester and cannot wait to get back there to start second semester. He loves it there! He did not ED anywhere because he didn’t feel strongly about any one place and wanted to just see what options he had through RD.

It came down to Emory, U Chicago and Tufts. In the end he felt Emory students seemed a little too pre-professional focused; his impression of U Chicago kids were that they weren’t very happy; and although he wishes the campus were right in Boston, Tufts seemed like a better fit in terms of it feeling more like a liberal arts school and to him the students came off as collaborative and generally enthusiastic and satisfied.

He has made some really nice friends, many of whom share his interest in the outdoors. The apple fell very far from the tree because he loves hiking, camping, fishing and all that stuff that involves bugs and dirt that I hide from in hotel rooms 😂 He is very excited for the new T stop to open so he can get into Boston easily. He said lots of kids don’t care about going into the city but he has some international student friends and they love to explore.

No school is perfect and he has his pet peeves, but he is so happy in general! That’s all I care about. Not the ranking, or whether person X or Y thinks it’s prestigious. We were in New Mexico for the holidays and there were there some people who hadn’t even heard of it. These are probably the same people who think Wash U is in Washington state.

LOVE this post!  Now this is someone who is actually connected with the university. All that muck above about prestige and rankings and Wendy Williams has to be an exchange between people who have no actual experience with Tufts. It has long been know exceptionally talented yet quirky and down to earth students choose Tufts. [b]Those same students have little interest in the other well ranked schools with better name recognition.[/b] Is this every Tufts student, no. However [b]it is the vast majority of them.[/b] All the Tufts dissing comes from those who really know so little about the school.  [/quote]

This is just lying through your teeth.[/quote]
