<p>i really don’t think tufts can be compared to harvard at all and i kind of get sick of people doing it: tufts has no college system, fewer grad/professional schools, and less money. The two campuses look very different. Also, Tufts students are at least in my experience a lot more relaxed and down-to-earth than their neighbors at Harvard. </p>
<p>The schools I think Tufts is most comparable to in terms of location, overall academics, and the types of students they attract are Northwestern, Rice, Brown, and maybe Johns Hopkins.</p>
