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.
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum is very relevant, and I'm getting a lot of research experience as well as meeting people in the fields I'm interested in.
Exams
For my application, I had to submit my CV, a common app essay, and a supplemental essay. I focused on my writing, art, and community service experience - I've done a lot of those pretty consistently over the years, which is important as it shows dedication/passion for something and it's clear I didn't just do those things to make my application look good. I did not have to interview at Tufts.
Placement
N/A - haven't been through the placement process
Internship
The Blue Lab - no stipend - I just emailed them about their associate positions, didn't go through Tufts.
Events
Lots of amazing clubs and events - I'm in the International Club and we have really fun events throughout the year. Clubs are a great way to engage with different parts of the Tufts community. WiFi isn't great sometimes but not too bad overall, the library is really nice.
Fees
250000
Scholarship
No
Faculty
The student to faculty ratio is 9:1. The staff are really great, I've had some brilliant professors. Favorites are Sam Sommers, Holly Taylor, and Lisa Shin for Psychology, Sarah Sobieraj and Brett Nava-Coulter for Sociology, Brian Schaffner, Rabia Zafar, and Deborah Schildkraut for Political Science.
Hostel
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.
