Vassar or Tufts?

@Bjklw2a Thank you very much for the those data! But given that you seem to be a current student at Tufts, or have gone to Tufts, what would you say about the school’s humanities departments (again: English, History, Philosophy–I know about prof Daniel Dennett, but anything else?), Anthropology (mostly Sociology) and Psychology programs?

Also what would be your perception of the Combined-Degree Program with the SMFA?

I am very uncertain regarding my future major, but I do know that it will be along the lines of the fields of study that I just mentioned above. My ultimate goal is to become what I tend to call a “visual journalist,” who tells stories of those underrepresented who might lack the agency to self-articulate, through probably either drawing / painting or films.

Does that goal sound like it fits the atmosphere at Tufts? (Because I almost only hear people in the Tufts 2021 FB chat talking about IR, premed, prelaw, and engineering, which gives me an impression that Tufts is pretty preprofessional) Would Tufts really allow me to thrive as a humanities + art person? (Given that I know the ultimate determinant of such question is my own determination.)

Many thanks!
