College Overview: Tufts

Tufts: The Hidden Gem
The honest reason I chose Tufts is because I wanted an Ivy education without the pretention that goes along with it.

The work is hard~grade inflation doesn't exist like at the big ivies. The size is pretty nice though. The professors are also amazing and very approachable.
