Umm, yeah with Tufts campus, it’s better for you to take the info session, tour, and then they like to have take a complimentary lunch in the dining hall with Tufts students. It’s actually quite nice. It’s better that you not rush the Tufts experience, b/c the really guides you through only 2/3 of the campus, leaving out big parts like, the engineering school, the Fletcher school, freshmen housing. I would count on rushing out of Tufts at 1:00 and getting down to BU with parking forthe 2:000. It’s do-able, but you don’t have too much flexibility and it’s aconstant time crunch. If you do plan to do it, I would highly recommend taing the T, and assume that you’re not going by car.

It actually seems more feasible fo you to visit all these schools by Boston T, with exception to Brandeis, andforego the car.

Also, I’d really tink you should tack on one day or do a quick drive through of either Boston College or Wellesley on the Brandeis day, b/c you’re touring probably two of the most unspectacular campuses in the area. Dor you to get a full picture of Boston’s schools.

If you don’t want to see either, you should probably take a drive through Northeastern on the BU day (After seeing both, Northeastern’s campus is what you probably expected BU to be, just take my bet on that one ;))

Also, you can stay in Cambridge, there are many nice hotels, but it is not ideal for your college list or plans of travel.
