Hi! I’m from Texas and planning on transferring from a school in PA to either Tufts or WashU. I have to make my decision tonight and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am going to study Arabic, sociology, and law (~things in this realm). I would be an incoming junior. The commute to WashU is easier from my home town, but Boston is a more well-connected city, plus I am interning in Boston this summer (living in a Tuft’s students apartment), so I will have already established a community in Boston. WashU, however, has a bit of a higher ranking nationally and overall better amenities. I only have guaranteed housing at Tufts, so at WashU I would have to find off campus housing AND a roommate. WashU seems like a prettier campus with better campus food, which are two major pluses… as you can probably tell I am struggling to make a decision and would appreciate any help! Thank you.
