I am a Tufts alum and a parent of a recent alum. I also spent 25+ years doing alumni interviews for the admissions office.
I agree with the view that descriptions of Tufts students as quirky, etc is misleading (and, i think, a bad idea). Tufts has quirky and non- quirky kids (my kid was the latter), as do pretty much all of the top schools.
There is no substitute for visiting the school, talking to students and reaching one’s own conclusions.
Ultimately, i agree with hebrewhammer’s comments.
