Rating 3.71 out of 5 1,078 reviews
I like Tufts has various academic strengthen and human resource. For example, I am now at Fletcher School, Tufts' graduate school of global affairs. The school does not have professor specialize in Chinese policy. However, Tufts University itself has various professor related to Chinese affair so they can back up. In addition, my school has a cooperative activity with Harvard University, and it is easily possible for me to take several Harvard courses. I believe it is incredibly valuable to have opportunities to engage with people who have been pursuing the top level research in any field. At last, the school invites more than 10 military fellows. I learn from them about the real front line of national security which I am interested in to learn. Our professors are all talented and have inexchangeable experience at military of state department, it also brings hint for me to build my career plan.
Tufts is an excellent school with lots of freedom to explore your passions. The professors are excellent and care about each student individually. There are lots of clubs to choose from and people are always welcoming. The campus vibe is very nice and laid back generally. Everyone is very passionate about some subject which is inspiring to be around. The dining halls are not amazing but Kindelvan and the other cafes are very convenient. Some of the activities can be hard to join as freshmen because it can be competitive but gets easier to get involved in later years. The dorms are not fancy but they certainly aren’t bad in general. People are quirky and a little nerdy but it keeps it interesting. In my experience, financial aid is also one of the best available. Overall I highly recommend going to Tufts!
I think that Tufts is an amazing university for intersectional fields and getting a holistic education. The relationship built with professors is second to none, as all professors are truly dedicated to their students and put their needs and education first. It is a very collaborative and respectful place without a lot of competition between students.
