<p>It really depends what you are looking for. Tufts is a 10-15 minute walk from the Davis Square stop on the MBTA Red Line. You can be in Harvard Square in 10 minutes or in downtown Boston in about 20 minutes. Harvard Square has books, cd’s and some funky clothes, while Boston obviously has plenty of high end clothing stores. The best places to shop in Boston, again depending on what you’re looking for, are the Copley Place Mall or the Newbury Street/Back Bay area. Both are about a 15 minute walk from the MBTA Red Line stop at Park Street.</p>
<p>There are suburban malls ringing Tufts. All are 20-30 minutes by car. Public transportation is simply not available to these malls.</p>
