Yay Tufts!
I’m surprised they didn’t see bigger increases.
Hey @wisteria100 and @aegis400 can you help me with something? Can you link me to the RD 2022 Tufts thread? I can’t seem to find it 
@wisteria100 there have been lots of issues @ tufts recently so i think that would factor in a little
I am curious as to what you are referring to when you say “lots of issues”.
Thanks for any information.
@nomis1, well in my freshman year // last year there was this huge uproar about greek life.
and then this piece from the nytimes, which initiated lots of discussion on socioeconomic diversity on campus (in my opinion, not really improving lol)

there were other issues too, but these were the ones that stood out to me. i think if you talk to any tufts student on campus and ask about campus issues, they’ll talk about a lot of stuff. obviously this is normal for any university. good to keep that in mind bc i felt like when i matriculated, i had such high expectations (like this is a perfect blemish-free school), and so i was pretty crushed when i went through my freshman year with the high political tensions, the greek life situation, and the socioeconomic diversity thing too. it was a lot for a freshman honestly
