<p>What are some perks for being a student at Tufts? Aside from the amazing education, of course ;)</p>
<p>I'm just wondering the little things... something like free admission to the MFA? Any discounts? What about the different speakers and musical acts that have come to campus? </p>
<p>These will in no way determine my decision, but they are things that I am interested in knowing about :) I'm just trying to look at college as an entire experience, so I thought I should take a break from contemplating the academics in order to consider the culture :)</p>
<p>There’s free general admission to the MFA, $8 special exhibition tickets, 10% discount on Museum Shop purchases…
The New England Aquarium is only around $2 cheaper for college students…</p>
<p>Thanks for the info :)</p>
<p>Any more things? I think on the tour they say something about showing recent movies every weekend or something? Anything else of that sort?</p>
<p>Yeah, the tufts film series shows a lot of movies; generally two different ones every weekend, with multiple viewing times for each one on Friday and Saturday nights (I believe). They show both new films and older classics; a month or so ago, I went with a few of my friends to see The Sting.</p>
<p>There are also a lot of great artists and speakers who come. This year I’ve seen Tony Blair speak and Ben Folds perform, and have unfortunately missed out on a number of others including John Kerry (one I wish I’d gone to) and a bunch of other comedians, musicians, etc that I didn’t have as much interest in. For Spring Fling in a few weeks we’re going to have Ludacris, Asher Roth, and the Decemberists. Last year the Dropkick Murphys headlined at Spring Fling.</p>
<p>Loooooove it! So exciting actually being able to see these type of people in-person… that’s part of what the whole college experience is going to be about for me (hopefully!).</p>
