Help me pick my school? WashU vs.Tufts vs. W&M

If I were you, I’d take W&M out of the equation. To me, part of college is being around diversity and exposure to different opinions. By nature of being a public college, W&M lacks the diversity you will find at WashU and Tufts.

Echoing the comments of others, the Somerville area near Tufts is very vibrant, great dining, etc. Strong IR reputation at Tufts. All colleges are a bubble to some extent. Tufts is not more so than average and probably better than a lot of schools. I would think W&M would be a bigger bubble.

I think WashU is a great school all around. You can’t lose with your choices. Congrats!
