I want to apply to a Boston area school. After researching schools around the area, I’ve narrowed my choices down to Tufts and Boston College. I am interested in pursuing international relations. I’ve heard great things about the IR program at Tufts, but I think BC would be a better fit for me in terms of student life and overall feel of the college. Is the IR program at BC comparable to Tufts?
Tufts has a fantastic IR program with the Fletcher school. Tufts would have an advantage over BC in that area but if you prefer BC then go there.
Tufts is stronger for IR.
Tufts for IR but I personally prefer BC. You should also consider the atmosphere of the school and I didn’t like Tufts at all.
