Tufts is the most academically rigorous of the three. Tufts is outside of Boston, which is about 30 minutes away from the heart of the city. Most people take the T to go shopping, eat out, and just to explore the areas. Tufts is mostly known for its premed and IR program, though the other liberal arts areas are excellent as well. We have a very low student to faculty ratio, meaning that other than intro classes, most courses are very small which allow for a great deal of professor to student interaction. Our food is considered the second best in the nation (though princeton review doesn’t agree. The #1 food lies in Cornell with Tufts in second). ~18% of our student body is international, making our community very diverse with students from many countries as well as various socioeconomic backgrounds across the US. Our campus is generally much happier than most college student bodies as there are plenty of things to do on campus besides hard work. If you ask most Tufts students on any given day, they will give you a glowing review. You should visit to see for yourself.
