So Much Love, So Few Spots

Verbal, I cannot agree more with what you wrote above me.

I chose to come to Tufts for a reason. I had a list of other acceptances (including one of the oh-so-prestigious ivies), but I chose Tufts over all of them. Why? Because I liked how I felt when I stayed at Tufts. I liked the city of Boston. I liked having the School of Engineering so tightly integrated with the School of Arts & Sciences. I didn’t choose Tufts just because it was a top-tier school. All the schools I applied to could be classified as top-tier. I chose to come her because I LOVED Tufts itself.

There’s SO much more to school than just prestige… Not one school I applied to was south of Maryland. I don’t like warm weather. That GREATLY affects my decision when it comes to picking a school where I will spend four years of my life.
