Really fantastic! I've made amazing friends here, I've really found community through my clubs and activities, and the quality of schooling here is incredible.

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.
