Hello from a mom of a 2021 Tufts ED 1 admitted freshman. Is there already a discussion going for us?
Hi I’m also an interested new Jumbo parent!
Does anyone know the 2017 dates for Jumbo Days? Website not current.
Also interested in Jumbo Days date - last year was second weekend in April I think. Parent weekend is 10/13.
Hi all. D2 just got into Tufts. D1 is already there. please feel free to ask any questions…
We will be grateful for any advice! What about the roommate search? Did your D1 use the Tufts form/process?
Also a new Tufts parent here. I found this thread for Jumbo parents really helpful!

@hihopes4u there is a tufts Facebook group that one can join. Tufts had a process for all students to find a roommate which will in may.
however, her current roommate reached out to her and they have been a good fit for each other.
@hihopes4u apart from the roommate search the only additional things I would like to say is do the preorientation if you can and now sit back and relax…let the process take over and let your child start making the decisions. I did not do much after D1 got in and the process worked out and she is in a very happy place…;
Very reassuring advice! We are thrilled that she was accepted to her first choice and expect it will be a good fit for her. Just the usual logistical stresses (Boston is 1700 miles away) but I’m sure it will all work out. Thanks!
Yes that Jumbo Parents thread is good!, but most of the comments are a few years old. Maybe it can be revived?
Basically agree with @SandDad . Our oldest is a male freshman and second, female child was just accepted into the Class of 2021. Our advice to her will be to sign up for pre-orientation if she finds an appealing choice. The wilderness option was a good fit for the boy and it served him really well, especially as he keeps up with those friends a lot. But he has made his own choices, and broadened his friend groups through a couple of activities outside of classes and dorm mates. He let the school choose his roommate and that has been fine.
It really is time to let the student carry the ball. Later, this summer, though, you will want to double-check that the process for paying the bills is in fact working!
@hihopes4u we live 11,000 km away :))
it still worked out
@SandDad Can you transfer from the Arts & Science school to Engineering? What is the process like/ is it difficult?
@punjitoe8 I dont know the answer to that one. but look at this
Welcome to the Tufts Community!
The original parents thread lost momentum when the facebook page was created. Probably not a good idea to start a second parents thread. I will answer the engineering question on the original parents thread.
Tufts Parent of 2021 ED1 Freshman. Any NYC parents out there?
Does anyone have a link to the Tufts parents group on facebook? Our son is a freshman this year. We’re local (metrowest Boston) and I’d love to connect with other Jumbo parents!
Hi silver67 I will pm you.
I would love info as well. Thank you!
