WHAT I LIKED
Tufts pushed me to think about the way I think and the reasons for my perspective, which was incredibly important to my character development. I also made amazing, lifelong friends.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
The dorm food wasn't amazing, and some of the dorms themselves and classrooms are pretty dated. Also, it is very difficult to take public health courses if you are not a public health major.

WHAT I LIKED
Excellent access and quality of professors and academic material provided at very little to no additional cost in textbook fees.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
Dining hours could be better, and the consistency of campus availability during breaks could also be better.
