What impressed you positively?

My interviewers were really nice guys who honestly cared about my thoughts. Also, the staff was honest and respectful. The facilities were new and clean and the day was very well organized. Selectives also seem really cool...

What impressed you negatively?

There weren't many students around so I didn't get to find out their impressions. Also, they didn't talk about opportunities to be involved in clubs or play sports (social class integration)

What are your general comments?

Everyone at Tufts was really nice and accomodating. The interviewers were not only nice and funny, but they forced you to think rather than just regurgitate information. It was a comparatively refreshing interview experience. The environment was relaxed and the facilities were top notch.
