I know this is a GREAT problem to have. But while they are very different, there is alot about them that is similar enough to make this a hard choice for my son. He is interested in politics, plays the guitar and might consider a music minor, is from a small public school in Westchester, wants small classes and is thinking he will go onto law school. 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. He thinks Boston will give him more opportunities in politics, but Tufts is one of the bigger schools he applied to. He likes that at Tufts he can take Rock and Roll classes in the music dept. He likes the access to professors at Vassar. He is very liberal politically but doesnt back down from an animated discussion. He knows it might be easier for him to meet girls at Vassar But that is not his main concern…at the moment

I know that both are great choices. But is there something else we should consider? Dorms? Social life? Food? Quality of life? Study abroad?

I am also posting on the Tufts board…
