My experience at Tuft University was remarkable and very interesting. The trip started out with a tour of the school grounds, which was led by one of the school freshmen. Although the guide was a first-year student, the tour was very informative about the campus and what it have to offer. The campus offers a military style setup with a state of the art galley (cafeteria), and a huge church available right in the middle of the campus. There are both apartment-style and dorm-style options available on campus, along with private houses for rent (located right on the outskirts of the school). The number of international students walking around campus was very surprising to me. The campus appeared to be rich in diversity and culture. Another exciting thing about the campus itself was the other visitors who were on tour with me. There were visitors from as far as Hawaii and Alaska travelling all this way to see what Tufts University has to offer. I don’t see any reasons not to be interested in attending this university. This school is built to accommodate everyone. It is located 15 minutes from the busy city of Boston for all the city dwellers, while the campus is so self-efficient that there is no reason to leave the university if you don’t feel like traveling. The students on campus all seemed happy to be there and friendly in offering assistance as I tried to make my way around campus. The school offers a lot of unique classes, which are built not just for a particular major as the school promotes diversity within the classroom to create a very interactive environment. So prepare to be challenged by students of other majors in almost every class. I experienced such diversity just by sitting in on one class. This class was called “Climate Justice.” Just by the name we can tell this class is built for science majors, law majors and even general studies majors. The class was large, with over thirty students sitting with their books and laptops on desk. Although the class was large, there were at least two professors and two-professor assistants who were all involved in helping the students complete their work. We sat there while a guest speaker introduced the “Climate Justice” topic. The class was excellent.  The students asked the right questions and the professors responded very professionally; no question went unanswered. Overall this trip was excellent. I definitely will have this university high on my list when I am ready to transfer. Also to conclude, I will like students planning on attending the school to understand that tuition involves everything from housing, parking, and food. It’s also mandatory for first and second year students to live on campus. So plan a trip; it’s well worth it. I learned way too much to write it all down, but overall the school sells itself.
