Tufts vs. WashU????

My son graduated from Tufts. And my daughter is currently at WashU Olin. Both loved their schools. The vibe at both schools are very similar. WashU is a beautiful school and is a little bigger then Tufts. We’re from NYC area and I’m hoping that my daughter comes back after she graduated. So far she’s had internship starting summer of freshman year in NYC. She also wants to do consulting. My son had a lot of friends as Econ majors. All got great jobs on Wall Street and are doing very well. I dont think you can make a wrong decision here. Go with the school that you think you’ll be happiest at. The only thing I would say is that in my experience the advising at WashU has been far superior to Tufts. I wasn’t thrilled with Tufts advising. I thought it was pretty much non existent. But maybe that was just my son’s experience. At WashU my daughter has bunch of advisors and they literally hold your hand through all the major decisions.
