I entered in through the shady side of Somerville so I didn't have a great first impression. Knowing that this type of neighborhood is right around Tufts wasn't too uplifting either. [View Full Report]

Tufts is in Medford and Sommerville which are two small suburban towns with nothing much, but a little bit further down there's Boston! [View Full Report]

We didn't see very much - but basically residential with some restaurants across the street from campus. [View Full Report]

Most of the surrounding area is homes. You have to walk before youn encounter a lot of businesses. [View Full Report]

The campus is surrounded by neighborhoods with smallish homes on small lots. It has a town feel. There is a neat shopping area not too far from campus with lots of shops and restaurants. [View Full Report]

This is actually one of the things that really got me loving Tufts. You have the campus itself which is gorgeous. You walk a little ways (or take the Joey) into Davis Square which is this adorable, quaint little place with cute restaurants and coffee shop [View Full Report]

Very nice. You don't have to go to Boston to have fun. There's a nice, relatively big town around Tufts. Very well-kept and very New England-y. [View Full Report]
