Cons of Tufts and Georgetown SFS???

<p>hey guys im looking into majoring in IR and going into international law later and I've heard that Tufts and GTown are the best schools in the world at this and all this other good stuff. However, I can't really distinquish between the pros.</p>

<p>So...what are the bad parts of these schools? Stuff that the school doesn't want you to know about?</p>

<p>thanks a lot!</p>

<p>My experience is as an alumnus for whom the experience is not a too distant memory.
Be careful with your time-There are high profile speakers coming to campus on almost a daily basis. Additionally, the professors and your classmates are so talented that you will want to continue discussing issues you are passionate about for hours on end even if you have a test to study for or paper due. Also, Georgetown SFS and Georgetown in general require 40 credits to graduate. Each of these classes requires a mid-term ,final and a major research paper, so you are consistently doing 25% again as much work of other comparable schools. If you are not careful with your time or are not really passionate about the work the school will not be for you.</p>
