<p>Yes. But like most schools there is plenty of partying going on. My son is not a drinker or partier and seems to find things to do.</p>
<p>My son’s main complaint about Tufts is that it has the wrong kind of nerds - ones who read about Mideast policy in their spare time, or talk about how to save the world. He wants to just kick back and play video games. He says the kids most like him end up being the engineers or athletes, with whom he has nothing else in common. (He’s an IR major.) That said, when he wasn’t playing video games or reading sci fi, my son spent at least some of his summer break reading a book about nuclear policy so he may not be that different.</p>
<p>My son thinks there are too many earnest save the world types - especially in his major, but other than that I think he likes Tufts a lot.</p>
