Hey Bogusguy,

Both schools are great and extremely similar as far as academics, campus size, etc. What are you interested in possibly studying? Can you handle cold weather? I am a Tufts student, so I am obviously biased, but other than weather I think that Tufts definitely has the edge on location and social life. Boston is such an amazing college town and it is so easy to get wherever you need by the T. Yet, we still have our suburban campus (very similar to Emory in that we are right by a city in a grassy campus, but I hear that at Emory you basically need a car to really get around)

Also- Tufts is known for having an amazing International Relations program, which means that our students are exremely diverse and globally aware. Not to say that Emory is any different, but as an international student that is something you should think about…

Lastly- Tufts students are simply NICE, outgoing, fun, and intelligent people. I hear that for the most part, Emory are the same with a touch more materialism.

But congrats! Those are definitely two great schools to choose from. Best of luck in your decision.
