<p>As a parent of a S. interested in Tufts, it’s pretty obvious that I would agree with WS17. Plenty of social, fun-loving kids are not looking for Animal House. Also, as someone who did attend a notorious “work hard/play hard” school (albeit many years ago) I think there are many who would agree that the hard-drinking party scene that seemed so exhilarating freshman year gets a little stale by the following year or so, and by the time you’re a junior or senior can even seem pretty silly. By that time, a student is probably more apt to appreciate school sponsored events and smaller parties with friends, both of which sound easy to find at Tufts.<br>
Sorry to previous poster with new question - I just had to add my 2 cents, didn’t mean to highjack thread!</p>
