- I really like how we have a beautiful campus.
- really like the quality of education I receive.
- I really like the fact that we have so many clubs and organizations that we can be a part of.
Dislikes
- I found the weather cold sometimes especially winter.
- It was difficult to walk in the snow.
- It is on a hill so tough to walk.
Campus Life
- Tufts has 5 campuses:
- Medford/Somerville (main)
- Boston (SMFA and health sciences, including the medical school)
- Grafton (vet school).
- Facilities include libraries, sports centers, and health services
- Events like Spring Fling, Fall Fest, with 300+ clubs, intramurals, and cultural groups, make campus life dynamic and engaging at Tufts.
- There is something for everyone to do.
Accommodation
- I found my accomodation through university itself for first two years as first two years there is an on campus residency requirement. Then later I moved off campus.
- The monthly rent for first 2 years was just semester housing fees that was paid, then I paid fees to my landlord.
- There are different types of dorms, double, suite style, etc. so it depends.
Likes
- I chose MSIM degree at Tufts University because the course emphasizes on experiential learning.
Campus Life
Living so close to a city like Boston, the campus life is as good as it can be. You have all the best parts of the city & the suburbs (based on what you prefer). The public transport is also one of the best in the country which means you can live here as a student without the need for a car which is rare for a US city.
Accommodation
There is very limited on campus housing for graduate students, therefore most people opt for off campus housing. Medford rent prices are higher than other places due to the proximity to the college. But you are paying for the convenience that comes with living close to the university and close to the city of Boston. For reference, I pay $1500 per month for a fully furnished room (amenities included in rent) in a 4 bedroom house.
Accommodation
Yes, I live on-campus - facilities are good, average.
Small, liberal arts school, had the degree I wanted to pursue.
Accommodation
No - my off-campus house was newly renovated and is very very nice. I'm living with three friends, and each of us has a single room. The average rent in Medford/Somerville is about $950/month if you want to be close to campus.
Tufts is a really great place - not super competitive, great sense of community. The professors are fantastic, and it's good for psychology, English, and politics, which are all things I am interested in.
