Not to big, not to small, Help!

<p>Tufts seems like a good fit.</p>

<p>Strong biology/life sciences/bioengineering/biotechnology programs provide lots of options</p>

<p>It is located in the top biotech/life sciences cluster in the world (Boston and suburbs) - great for internships/research/service learning</p>

<p>Half the campus is located in the city with 2nd highest density of young people in the country (Somerville) next to the city with the third highest density of young people in country (Cambridge) which, in turn, is next to Boston. All are interconnected by public transit which makes for lots of entertainment/cultural opportunities.</p>

<p>The other half of the campus is located in a city with one of the largest (2,600 acres) urban forests in the world (Medford) - which is good for cross country skiing.</p>

<p>If there is not enough snow locally, then Tufts has its own lodge up in New Hampshire’s White Mountains with a van to provide transportation - which is even better for cross country skiing</p>

<p>If you would like to continue playing Ultimate, then Tufts women’s ultimate club is a blast and one of the top teams in the country - in division 1.</p>

<p>If you would like to continue with cross country, the varsity team is one of the top D3 teams in New England</p>

<p>Tufts is really big on global citizenship with the Tisch College of Citizenship, a gap year program, study abroad programs as well as a very active Engineers Without Borders program (lots of non-engineers participate) and one of the highest percentages of Peace Corps volunteers.</p>

<p>The new music center is the top small performance hall in the Boston area, with amazing acoustics. There are several vocal groups.</p>

<p>The food has been ranked among the best in the country, and the students among the happiest.</p>

<p>Good luck in your search!</p>
