I think both schools are great and it really depends on what you are looking for.

I’m very familiar with both NYU Stern and Tufts and what each school has to offer and I’d say they are both great for economics. However, it’s important to consider what kind of environment you want to be in. While both schools are competitive, Tufts is a small liberal arts school which offers tons of opportunities in the arts (if you’re into that) while stern is in a huge city (obviously). You’ll get a very different experience in Tufts than you will at Stern.

My recommendation, however, is NYU Stern. Tons of companies and banks – not just investment banks – recruit there and what better place to be than in New York City, only a few train stops away from the financial district? Just keep in mind your success in college is only what you make of it so if you choose Tufts, venture out into Boston from time to time and see what kind of academic/social opportunities await you.
