The city if very interesting and the public transportation system is very efficient.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't get to really see all of the facilities (ie labs and floors), I was brought to most of the levels but there wasn't too much shown but two classrooms and clinics.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew it was cold there, but no one told me it was going to be freezing!

What are your general comments?

I had on interview at UOP before visiting Tufts, and I think that Tufts simulation lab seems a bit cramped. I didn't get to see all of the school, but I think because we also stepped into the medical center we didn't have enough time. I found the faculty and students to be nice. Although I didn't feel much of a connection to the school. Overall I think that Tufts is a decent school and they do put much effort into helping their students do well.
