Notre Dame vs. Tufts

<p>So I've narrowed it down to these two schools and after visiting them AGAIN, I still have no clue. Both gave me comparable financial aid, so money isn't really that much of an issue. I'm interested in international relations/studies and pre-med. There are things that I think I like and dislike about each school but there's only so much you can learn from 2 days at a school. I'm really feeling the pressure now that its coming down to the wire and I have NO idea what I'm going to do. HELP!</p>

<p>Haven’t yet visited Notre Dame but from what I hear, after visiting the school one’s decision is really swayed to attend it.
From what you posted, it seemed like you didn’t have that same feeling?</p>

<p>For pre-med, ND is really good and you’ll have a blend of other activities like sports, religion, etc.</p>

<p>No, I have the opposite reaction of most of my friends. The more schools I visit, the more I fall in love with ALL of them. :frowning: It’s very frustrating…</p>

<p>Wow, that’s kind of strange.
Guess a solution will be not to visit any school again and decide from the ones you already have. Just joking though.</p>

<p>But in that case, go with the one your heart wants.</p>

<p>I’ll say ND because I’m also going there.</p>

<p>bump. I have to make my decision later today and I still have NO idea</p>

<p>Let me see if i can give you some breaking points. </p>

<p>1) do you mind the catholic identity with the two required theology courses and two required philosophy courses. </p>

<p>2) ND’s campus is way nicer, but I would imagine Tufts is closer to Boston than ND to Chicago. </p>

<p>3) If you want to go home more often, then which one is closer. </p>

<p>4) do you love the sports environment, because then you can’t beat ND.</p>

<p>5) I don’t know about Tufts, but there is an awesome sense of community with virtually no crazy competition between students at ND. </p>

<p>if you don’t mind theo/phil. courses, like sports, don’t mind that ND is not near a city (still plenty to do on campus), and want a great community feel, I would go with ND. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
