I know this is probably a little late, but I’m just gonna post anyways.

"He likes that at Tufts he can take Rock and Roll classes in the music dept. "
–In my Vassar interview, I learnt that the best friend of my interviewer majored in the history of Rock and Roll. So, I would not say that Tufts has this over Vassar, which also has a great music scene.

“He likes the size of Vassar and while not being near a city is not a factor for him right now, it might be down the road.”
—Students in Vassar rarely, if ever, go to the city during their entire undergrad years. So, Vassar does not really have this over Tufts.

Both are very similar really, and there isn’t much to separate them. But Vassar has a much more beautiful campus. Its students are very outspoken and liberal, and there are great debate teams at Vassar. The housing thing mentioned above is also a strong point. And Vassar is one of the most prestigious liberal arts colleges in the country.

Needles to say, I am biased towards Vassar. But this bias has probably been fostered by the slew of amazing info I found about this college, and the little things such as Vassar farm, the shuttle, etc.

PS I don’t think you can go wrong with either decision.
