<p>I wouldn’t get your hopes up too awful much about the food. As freshmen, you’ll have tons of meals and no JumboCash, which means you’ll be largely confined to the two dining halls and Hodgdon Good-to-Go. They’re not bad; Hodgdon in particular is pretty delicious, but it’ll get monotonous real fast. Best advice is to make liberal usage of the sandwich ingredients and panini machines. Get creative and make some good combinations. You probably won’t be eating often at the better food options, Hotung Cafe, the Commons Grill, and the Merchants-on-Points (eight local delivery restaurants that accept payment in JumboCash, offering pizza, Italian entrees & pasta, burritos, wraps, crepes, wings, Chinese, sandwiches, burgers, salads, fried chicken) until you get yourself some JumboCash, typically as a sophomore.</p>
<p>How do you get JumboCash?</p>
<p>50 lbs of cow muscle…</p>
<p>because nothing hits the spot quite like pure bovine goodness</p>
<p>snarf</p>
<p>where did you get that info on the philosophy department at tufts?</p>
<p>the gourmet reports I am looking at don’t even list tufts.</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t freshmen have Jumbocash? I know that when my parents got a letter last summer offering 15% extra they got me a *****-ton. It’s more useful for freshmen than it is for anyone else, imo, as you can use it to buy books at the bookstore (which you honestly don’t have any business doing after first semester), buy other stuff there, buy stuff at Jumbo Express, any on-campus dining area, and several off-campus. By the time you’re a sophomore and have a good idea of what’s around it’s no where near as necessary and, if anything, would probably be a little limiting.</p>
<p>[url=<a href=“http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/maprog.asp]Here.[/url”>http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/maprog.asp]Here.[/url</a>] Tufts doesn’t have a Ph.D program, so obviously it wouldn’t be ranked amongst top Ph.D programs. But the first sentence of the third paragraph on that page explicitly and unambiguously puts Tufts as the premier MA program.</p>
<p>The people, definitely.</p>
<p>Great info here! I absolutely loved Tufts when I visited (prospective IR major… love the location, programs, intellectualism, pretty much everything) but I don’t know anything about the social life. Are there pretty good parties? I imagine most upperclassmen go bar-hopping a couple weekends a month, but there’s good unity among underclassmen on-campus right? Thanks!</p>
<p>No. Typically, underclassmen are made to fight each other for scraps of meat or smokes, like hobos, while upperclassmen watch and make bets.</p>
<p>another good thing, theres always grad school.</p>
<p>We have our very own colosseum!?!?!? That is soo cool!</p>
<p>We do? Are you talking about the Balch Theater?</p>
<p>lol, that’s in reference to your own post regarding freshmen fighting each other</p>
<p>ahahahha ^^</p>
<p>Haha, whoops. I was going for more of a bumfights reference than ancient Rome, but fair enough.</p>
<p>i need some of you smart engineering types out there to build a sensor to prevent me from going on the internet whilst i’m man-PMSing</p>
<p>You don’t need an engineer for that. Call me up, I’ll help you smash your laptop :)*</p>

<p>Gmail has a feature you can enable that requires you to answer a series of relatively simple math problems before chatting or emailing if you try to sign on at certain times, say after 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Probably won’t work for man-PMSing, but pretty effective to prevent drunk-emailing.</p>
<p>i’m much to lazy to check if that last comment was for real or not, but thats awesome.</p>
