D1 is a senior at Tufts in CS. She entered Tufts intending to be an International Relations major, took an intro CS course for breadth, and, well, here she is.

Academic rigor–check. Support–check. That’s true both for the newbies who only come to CS in college and for those who’ve been coding since they exited the womb.

Internship and career opportunities–check. You can ask the department for a list of what companies students intern at, and where they go off to work. Internships run the gamut from the big name tech companies to corporate environments to working for non-governmental agencies abroad. Being hired for a full-time job post college–no problem. Support for D1’s job search–suggestions on where to apply, help with her resume, etc etc, all there.

Social life–check. True about the sense of community. D1 has loved her time at Tufts. She’s had some amazing, amazing opportunities ranging from lectures on campus to travel all over the world (funded by Tufts).
