What are your general comments?

Great place! Tufts impressed me a lot with its presentations and I had a lot of chances to talk with medical students and even some of their deans. Be prepared for a long day, but if you are travelling from a far off place, I think they try to get you out earlier. I am from the Boston area, so I was given teh last tour along with other Boston area people.
