<p>^ ^ Great post, Seashore!</p>
<p>You're right. I really liked the "active citizenship" compononent to a college education, and that's why I picked Tufts over UChicago (and others), though I would've been happy at either. For others, "active citizenship" isn't a stand-out draw.</p>
<p>I'm one of the few people who actually finds an ivory tower preferable to an activist school. Blame it on apathy.</p>
<p>Um, it's not like Tufts ignores academics, it just emphasizes intertwining academics with civic awareness.</p>
<p>I never said they did. Tufts is great.</p>
<p>tufts suuuuuuuucks uchicago for life</p>
<p>FYI: Random bashing is really stupid.</p>
<p>If you're referring to my well founded logic, don't worry, I'm not a Uchicago student, just a future (in ten days) EA rejectee. Chicago isn't in the same boat as the schools you listed.</p>
<p>You're tripping, buddy. UChicago is a great school, but Gtown, Tufts, JHU and all of those are just as great. They attract different-minded students, but they're all just as smart.</p>
<p>Well, I was actually directly referring to:</p>

<p>And that was pretty clearly a joke...? I'm not usually in the habit of writing off universities like Tufts.</p>
<p>lol things gettin tense eh.</p>
<p>Anyhow, it seems tufts would be quite a good answer here to the starter of this thread? active citizenship sounds far more inline with the "leader" sort than Uchicago anyhow.</p>
<p>That's why I suggested it!</p>
<p>i was under the impression that UChicago, was a socialy inept school, however, after visiting i found that there are more than enough social people there to make it an enjoyably place to be</p>
