Oh, and forgot to mention that my kid as a freshman and sophomore got off campus quite a bit. Many tufts students go to Davis and Harvard squares on weekends. He took his GF to a whole day bugs bunny movie festival at Brattle street theater (I think that’s its name…a theater in Harvard sq) for valentine’s day, lol. And goes into boston too for Celtic games, for classes & dates at the BMFA (he took an African art class to meet his non-western civ requirement), and even to the aquarium. Boston, Cambridge & Medford are cool places. Lots to do. And transportation from tufts is easy.
