Professors and learning environment at Tufts

Colleges & Universities Tufts University

<p>I am wondering how good the professors are at Tufts? Are they creative teachers? What makes them good? How well rounded are they? Do they inspire? Is there a “common thread” to them? I am wondering how Tufts creates a fabulous learning environment. After all is said and done, and kids are admitted, I am wondering how good the learning is and if it it special. Also, do the requirements make sense and do kids enjoy them.</p>

<p>With so much focus on trying to get in, I would like to learn more about the experience once you are there. Thanks.</p>

<p>Your question calls for a generalization, which is something I usually try to avoid.
I can tell you this, however: Tufts focuses on the undergrad experience, and the professors teaching there know that. The same cannot be said for many of the other “most competitive” universities. In terms of the focus being on undergrads, Tufts is more like a liberal arts college than the typical university (and of course it is smaller than most universities).</p>
