<p>Lol, hey all, I’m a freshman at Tufts and I have to shake my head at everyone who’s like “DONT GO TO TUFTS! IT’S ALL BITTER IVY REJECTS!” Tufts is actually a lovely, lovely place with a fantastic student body, location, campus, size, academics, everything! Someone mentioned that no one is going to go into Boston every weekend - actually, many many people do. Boston is extremely accessible, the T stop is about a ten minute walk from campus, and I often consider the beautiful city almost an extension of the Tufts campus.</p>
<p>I happen to be THRILLED by Tufts - my mother works at Columbia and I could be going there for free tuition, but I could never transfer because I am SO happy here. All the students are so friendly, interesting, talented, hilarious and intelligent. Many, many of us actually did get into many Ivies, contrary to popular belief, but we chose Tufts because of its other qualities. I know a good amount of people who turned down Harvard, Penn, Columbia, lots of Cornell, and other great schools like Georgetown. And no one is bitter - we recognize that Tufts excels in so many respects and are glad we chose it.</p>
<p>However, I have heard only good things about Emory, its quality of education and campus. Someone told me the student body is “Jappy” but I’m sure that’s an huge generalization, lol. I personally would not have picked it ONLY because it was too far from home for me. Both are wonderful places - although if you like Pepsi, that’s one thing Tufts has that Emory does not :-D</p>
