I’m also more of an engineering/science guy who wants the liberal arts experience, and Tufts is my top choice right now. I think the balance between LA/eng is much better at Tufts than smaller LACs like Swarthmore and Oberlin. The engineering school is (obviously) bigger here because the school is bigger, which means there is a lot more class diversity in selection. As far as social-fit goes, Tufts seems really laid back, far more so than Oberlin which felt kind of pretentious to me.
