tufts vs. wesleyan

<p>Which school is more prestigious, Tufts or Wesleyan?</p>

<p>tufts!!! idk, i dont really like the lacs</p>

<p>tufts isn't exactly an LAC
but anyway, i think i'd have to go with wesleyan.</p>

<p>Wesleyan, but Tufts is close behind.</p>

<p>I think that they are equal in terms of overall prestige. The difference that counts, however, is which school better meets your needs--if you are fortunate enough to be admitted to both. If admitted to both & still undecided, that look at the strength of your intended major course of study.</p>

<p>i would probably say they are about equal. maybe tufts has a little more rep.</p>

<p>: )-
thats y i chose tufts over wesleyan. i was saying how wes is an lac, not tufts</p>

<p>I'm a Wes student, so I might be a little biased, but I think that Wes is a little more prestigious amongst LACs than Tufts is amongst Universities, if that makes sense. But I don’t know which is more prestigious overall – though it partially depends on your major, because for some one is definitely more prestigious than the other.</p>

<p>But they are both really good schools without a huge difference in prestige level either way, and I think their other differences (City vs. Smaller town, LAC vs. small Uni, differences in campus culture, etc) should play a bigger role in your decision than prestige. In general, both will be impressive to those in the know, while neither will elicit much response from the average layman.</p>
