+1. I don't think Tufts is a good school. Maybe it has improved but it's always been a Vanderbilt-eque school in my mind. A private, expensive, mid-range school for kids that want to stay private. Think SMU.

So I'd prefer any of the public schools in the area - UMD, UVA, VaTech, W&M, etc. over Tufts any day. I don't see the draw. 
Maybe Ivies are worth the sticker shock but even then I think they're overpriced. You're paying for the name brand, OP. You can get better deals and state schools. But most people want prestige so they buy the Audi even though the Toyota lasts much longer for 1/2 the price. [/quote]

Vanderbilt vs. UMD/VaTech/W&M vs Tufts?
Major dependent i think?
For a humanities/Econ type major…

For my kids, I’d pick:
Vanderbilt
Tufts
UMD/VT/W&M[/quote]

I would disagree. Most Vandy / Tufts grads that I know have been middle of the road type students.[b] Nothing stellar but still go on to have good careers.[/b] I have not seen anything impressive from either school - which leads me to believe that they're not worth the money.

Admittedly, I am biased. I graduated from a big state school and paid significantly less to now out earn many of my private school friends. Subjective? Yes, but I've not seen these private unis earn their tuition rates. [/quote]

If the outcome for a middle of the road student is a good career, how does that compare to the average Florida State or Michigan State grad (to use to previous schools posited as comparable) [/quote]
