Why I like Tufts

<p>"I'm talking about the computer lab in the hallway outside of the Tower Cafe, behind the statues. It's across the hall from the all-night study room"</p>

<p>Oh, gotcha. I forgot all about that one.</p>

<ol>
<li>Hodgdon-DeWick trick turn</li>
<li>Stealing cookies from DeWick</li>
<li>Stealing ice cream from Carmichael</li>
<li>Stealing beer from the frats</li>
<li>Freshman 15 :(</li>
</ol>

<p>haha cluthballer very appropriate order with your 5...yet if I may add:</p>

<p>119: Freshman 7! I remember hearing that researchers at Tufts found that the combination of the health-conscious student body and the fact we are on a giant hill reduced the freshman weight gain significantly. So everytime you're walking from South to Olin you're burning those cookies away</p>

<p>That hill thing is definately true. We might have some of the ugliest students in America but damnit if we don't look good in skirts.</p>

<p>Ugliest students? You haven't been to Brandeis. Or Cornell. :-) But you're right -- I've never really seen an obese person on-campus.</p>

<p>Do you think Tufts has an attractive student body? I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to say that there are some good looking men here but the fair sex man...eh, maybe it just looks bad compared to BU and Northeastern.</p>

<p>The men at Tufts are pretty dope though, am I wrong about that? There is a serious lack of females here though. On the real.</p>

<p>i agree. i think there's a serious lack of hot girls. contrarily, some website gave a C to the guys and B+ to the girls on looks.</p>

<p>I've seen maybe 5 girls here in two years that I even gave a second look at. That's not right yo. If you have an explosive sexual appetite as I do this is definately not one of the better places to be :(</p>

<p>Boys, don't get all high and mighty. I think the men at this school are pretty foul-looking. In all, we're probably all--girls & boys alike--very picky.</p>

<p>That being said, I don't have a single friend at any school, anywhere in this country, who doesn't complain about their school being fugly. The grass is always greener on the other side.</p>

<p>I'm applying to Tufts now, and was wondering if there is anything unusual or especially good about the curriculum. I know you have a cure curriculum, but other than that it's pretty straigtforward right? I'm leaning toward being an English major.</p>

<p>Annebam - I think it would be a good idea if you posted this as a new thread because this thread is supposed to be for people who are at Tufts or already graduated from it, and they're talking about what they like about Tufts. I'd be happy to tackle your question in a new thread, especially as a double English and IR major myself.</p>

<p>Oh, man. I just found the website that ranks how good-looking the students are at different colleges, and the guys at Tufts didn't just get a C. They got a C-, third from the bottom, slightly above Smith which is all girls. Yikes. Not to be too shallow, and taking into account pickiness, etc, is it really that bad? I guess you can always date guys from BU/BC/Emerson, which all ranked higher, as did MIT!</p>

<p>Dsiw - I am dating the best-looking, kindest, smartest guy I've ever met. And he goes to Tufts. They're out there! Even guys I didn't date but had flings with in my first two years of college were rather good-looking... Better that they're harder to find than there be too many. Right? Then you can't choose! ;-)</p>

<p>"They got a C-, third from the bottom, slightly above Smith which is all girls"</p>

<p>LOL!</p>

<p>Seriously I think there are some good looking guys at Tufts, but yeah there probably aren't many. BU has a good looking female population, trouble is like 90% of them have that retarded bleech blonde hair, sun-tan you buy in a bottle, four lbs of makeup and at least one fake body part type of look going for them. If you're into that type of woman then ch'yeah!!!</p>

<p>Sex life is important and I don't think it too shallow to consider the looks of the student body when applying to schools. The problem at Tufts is that a fair amount of the decent looking women are dead set on not having sex until they're 30. I respect the women here but man, it's like every girl doesn't just want to be your Bronx love, she wants to your Hey Love too (only De La Soul fans got that one I think).</p>

<p>Its not really till their 30, but man, you've gotta wine and dine some of these girls for like a month or two before you get any nookie. I respect that in a way, but man, I got ugly needs that I have an obligation to fulfill, ya know?</p>

<p>A month or two?! That's madness!!!!</p>

<p>It is madness, if there is a woman on planet earth that's actually worth waiting a month or two for she damn sure isn't a student at Tufts.</p>

<p>There are alot of girls at Tufts that talk a good game but really haven't the slightest clue of what they're doing.</p>

<p>Honestly, guys, enough. </p>

<p>And RBAY: ever consider your lack of game or something? Why do you blame it on the girls? (No need to respond, as this conversation should've been over.. yesterday.)</p>

<p>"BU has a good looking female population, trouble is like 90% of them have that retarded bleech blonde hair, sun-tan you buy in a bottle, four lbs of makeup and at least one fake body part type of look going for them. If you're into that type of woman then ch'yeah!!!"</p>

<p>^Amen, RBAY :)</p>

<p>Ditto what lolabelle said about finding the most amazing guy in the world at Tufts, aka my boyfriend. LOL. I don't know, personally I think there are many attractive guys here, but for me what's important is personality, and often just randomly starting to talk to a guy you find out he's pretty cool. I think this is usually the case for me. Sometimes he's a wannabe-big-man-on-campus that pretends to be ghetto. You'll find those *******s anywhere, though. And actually, "typical girls" will tend to be attracted to those asshats, mistaking cockiness for confidence, so I guess it works out.</p>

<p>oh, but back to the topic at hand:</p>

<ol>
<li>Auditing for Breadth. I can't believe I only just found out about this, but apparently the ExCollege lets you audit three classes for a credit. What this means is, you go to lectures but don't do any of the work, and arrange with the prof beforehand how often you have to come to lecture. I'm really excited about this; I really want to take a class, it doesn't really fit the requirements and I wouldn't be able to go to every class, but I love the prof and subject matter. I think it's so cool that I can have the best of both worlds and take a class that otherwise I would have missed out on.</li>
</ol>

<p>"And RBAY: ever consider your lack of game or something?"</p>

<p>What lack of game? You don't know me trick. What on earth would lack of game have to do with the looks of the student body?</p>

<p>Shoot, once again any possible problems, even something as minor as student body looks, can instantly be written off to all the character flaws of rightbackatyou. </p>

<p>Shoot, so not only do I supposedly have no friends, am stupid, impossible to impress, pathetic and just an all around failure as a human being I now also have no game at all and am a total sexual reject. Wow, this is awsome. I feel so priveleged to be the object of your deep pyscho analysis of me. How will I ever pick up the pieces?</p>
