<p>I agree with what AdamfromLA has to say. As an international student myself, Tufts offers so many other things that other universities in more rural areas or less cosmopolitan locations do not… and if you’re from Shanghai, you’re going to miss those kinds of things! Furthermore, Tufts’ Environmental Studies program is small, tight-knit, and my friends who are majors in that department are always going on Tufts-funded trips to amazing places to do research. Funding for undergraduate research is more rare in bigger universities (like Richmond); don’t know how it is at Wesleyan.</p>
