<p>What's the social life at tufts? I'm not gonna lie, i'm looking for drugs, sex, and rock and roll.. will i find it here? Will i find a soulmate and friends with benefits? I've found them at my HS, and i'm afraid of losing this environment.</p>
<p>help! </p>
<p>Also how liberal is tufts?</p>
<p>Drugs? They exist but very much off the radar to the substance avoidant individuals (me). It is by no mean a large scene though you hear stories every once in a while of some underhanded trafficking from various neighbors such as MIT and Harvard. I would say that the affluence of the student body allows for many people who want them to find them. Promiscuity? Tufts is notorious for having fewer relationships and having lots of random hookups. Rock and roll? If I'm interpreting that correctly, people have fun :)
Tufts is liberal in the overall mindset but the average is overall much more conservative than I expected it to be. Quite a few moderates, and the few republicans that DO exist on campus are louder than the liberals. I guess the liberals aren't very loud as they find themselves preaching to the choir.</p>
<p>Back in my day, the liberals were loud. Unfortunately, I graduated the same year as they did, so I had to listen to their bellyaching for four years. I went to Tufts in part becuase it was liberal, but graduated a conservative - it was a little over-the-top in my day. It's calmed down since then, though.</p>
<p>There isn't much of a drug scene. There are some people who do drugs, but you might be better served at other campuses. Most of my friends never touched drugs and didn't drink until 21 - although the latter is because, well, people tend to congregate towards like people. Alcohol is the drug of choice at Tufts.</p>
<p>Dating scene - there are a lot of hook-ups, which, for me, is something I very much disliked about Tufts and, truth be told, about the northeast in general. (Hey, there is a reason that I'm strongly considering staying in the South - I want to date. I don't want to be groped and told that I'm frigid for wanting something emotional. Okay, okay, I'm conservative.) There are certainly people there that had long-term relationships, though. </p>
<p>Stay overnight on campus - you'll get a better idea of whether or not you would fit in (and if Tufts has what you are looking for).</p>
<p>LOL it's funny because i was just telling brownorbust that Tufts isn't a party school, but I'll say that there are absolutely people who like to have fun that way. I know tons of kids who pregame, then go to the frats, and I know a bunch of people that smoke up pretty regularly. But these kids still manage to do their work on time.</p>
<p>Random hookups are a pretty regular thing - I'm currently friends with benefits with someone and am REALLY enjoying that, lol. But there are also a lot of people that are in relationships, some open and some not. Plus you ahve to take into account that there are people here that are still involved with someone from a different school. I think Tufts has pretty much every single kind of person that would want each kind of relationship - there are those who are into drunken hookups, those who like to be exclusive and monogamous. Something for everyone, really. Nearly everyone i know has been satisfied SOMEhow, and it's only October :-D</p>
<p>Hmm, Do the random hookups decline toward your junior and senior years? Right now very few people are in a relationship here, it's almost entirely friends with benefits, which is fun but not always completely emotionally dettached(so things get hairy).
I'd love to have fun, but also eventually find someone to spend my life with after I'm partyed out.</p>
<p>I have a new love of nargela, I'm assuming there are plently of hookah bars in boston? :)</p>
<p>I liked Tufts when I went enough to apply early, though I couldnt sleep over.</p>
<p>Whether or not they decline? I don't know. Just started my junior year :) However, it's kind of scary (think rude awakening to life that I'm getting OLD) because I know people who JUST got married or are already planning their wedding ceremonies after they graduate.</p>
<p>wow...i can't even imagine planning a wedding in two years.</p>
<p>what i've heard from my upperclassman friends is that that's somewhat the case. by the time you're an upperclassman, you don't really go partying, preferring to just have fun with your group of close friends. A lot of people have found someone for long-term relationships by then. This is just what i'm told, though.</p>
<p>LOL I'm sure there are tons of hookah bars, but why go all the way to Boston? I know a ton of kids that have hookahs in their rooms. And the Arabic club had a big Tent Night the other day with hookah, and the Hillel Center is hosting a "Hookah in the Sukkah" today, lmao</p>
