<p>I've already drawn my pros and cons list, and they are basically equal! I've visited them both and liked them equally.</p>
<p>Since I'm already aware of things like location, about my major, etc. I just want personal opinions!
So please reply!!! :)</p>
<p>I mean, obviously, I chose Wes, and I didn’t consider Tufts. But I don’t think other people’s personal opinion will help. The reason I didn’t look at Tufts was because I was interested in a true small LAC experience, but Tufts is a great small University if you’re into that.</p>
<p>If you want my personal opinion, go to Wesleyan. Hands down.</p>
<p>Hmm, I mean, I think they are pretty different. Like Weskid said, Tufts is a research university right outside of Boston and Wes is a small LAC in a much smaller city (albeit an LAC with some grad students and pretty good research opportunities). So they’re definitely different college experiences.</p>
<p>Additionally, their atmosphere and vibe is pretty different. While obviously you can find all types of students at each and make your own niche, there’s still a dominant social atmosphere that’s pretty different at each. I had a pretty close friend and a decent acquaintance who were both LGBT and went to Tufts, and from what I’ve heard from them, they sometimes felt pretty uncomfortable. I think Wesleyan can be much more accepting. But then, if you’re more socially conservative, maybe Wesleyan would be less accepting about that kind of thing. (While there is some political diversity, to be honest, it doesn’t usually extend far down the social scale- that is, there are definitely some Republicans and libertarians, probably a minority of them don’t believe in, say, at least legalizing same-sex marriage-equivalent unions)</p>
<p>I don’t know. That’s just my $.02. Also, you’re probably more likely to have smaller classes at Wes (though I guess that’s related to the LAC thing). Then again, at Tufts, you can take a class with Daniel Dennett!</p>
