Duke vs. Tufts 2015

<p>A little about myself: I am a high school senior interested in social justice and political activism, as well as dance and music. </p>

<p>I hope to major in something interdisciplinary, involving public policy, culture studies and sociology, psychology, and philosophy.</p>

<p>Among my acceptances, Duke and Tufts are my two top choices. </p>

<p>Duke's rigorous academic environment and top notch faculty (as well as the weight that the Duke name carries on a resume) appeal to me, as well as the warm southern weather, friendly and engaged student body, and beautiful campus.</p>

<p>Tufts' interdisciplinary and experiential education, as well as top programs in my interest areas appeal to me. But beyond that, I LOVE the Tufts student's I know, there is something about their sense of humor, comfort in their own skin, quirky/nerdyness, and passion for their interest that speaks to me. I also always have wanted to go to college in or near a big city.</p>

<p>I have also been accepted to GW and American, and love DC, but think Tufts and Duke still top my list.</p>

<p>They are both amazing choices, and I have no idea where to choose! Any feedback, ideas, or stories?</p>

<p>You seem to like both schools for different reasons and unless you have a strong preference for some of these reasons over others, I would lean towards Duke.</p>
