Sophomore: Currently reaching near the middle of my time here, and this school truly works you to the bone. The baseline of this place is that everyone is very smart. Some are decently smart and work hard enough to get in, others come in doing Olympiads from when they were 5 years old. The students are very diverse. Some come in "normal", others finally get to truly express the weird and unique that they've been suppressing their whole lives. The campus is extremely welcoming and you really get to be who you want to be; it's very beautiful. Each dorm has an extant history and culture; you can automatically learn about someone by what dorm they live in. The academics are exceedingly difficult by content and pace. The problem set difficulty are elevated beyond a typical school's, and they force you to collaborate with others. Everyone must collaborate. You're forced to learn time management skills. I was finally able to satisfy my love for learning here. Truly an amazing and unique school!... Read 650 reviews

Junior: I am a junior at Tufts and I have so much love for this school even though I was a freshman during Covid, when student life was significantly less exciting that usual. Every semester I grow more appreciate of Tufts. Classes are good, school-sponsored activities are fun, I’ve always had positive dorm experiences, but I think what has set apart tufts for me is the fun outside opportunities it has provided me. I studied abroad with a Tufts program, which was incredibly well done and it was great to have the support of a group of tufts students. The Tufts Mountain Club and TWO pre orientation are also fabulous resources to explore the outdoors. Some of the student-run TUSC events are really fun, and tufts dining is excellent in my opinion. The tufts location is also perfect if you want a pretty even balance between nature and the city. In general, tufts offers a great variety of activities for curious, adventurous, and creative students.... Read 1,040 reviews

Niche User: I am attending Simmons for the accelerated BSN/RN program. The school is beautiful, well maintained, and features many brand new buildings. The environment is supportive and very friendly, especially for students who identify as female. I find that they are a little disorganized with communication, but that might be program specific. I highly recommend Simmons.... Read 802 reviews
