🐘 Welcome to Tufts (again!) 🐘
We are so excited to *officially* say, "Welcome to the Class of 2028!" We have already fallen head over heels for you, and know that current students, faculty, and staff from across campus are asking us all about you.
Throughout the month of April, we will host virtual and on-campus events featuring faculty and staff from various university departments. These events will also provide you with an opportunity to get to know current Jumbos and some of your future classmates.
Jumbo Month
Our month-long virtual programming will include a full slate of Zoom-hosted events throughout April. During Jumbo Month, you can attend mock classes, student panels, conversations with campus resource centers, and much more!
We hope you register for several virtual events next month.
Jumbo Days
Our in-person admitted student open houses will include opportunities to attend mock classes, eat in a dining hall, hear from campus administrators, and interact with current students. Jumbo Days will take place on the Medford campus on April 5th, April 12th, and April 26th from 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM EST.
Students admitted to the BFA and 5-Year Combined Degree (BFA + BA/BS) program with the School of Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts are welcome to attend any of the three days, but we will provide specialized SMFA programming on April 5th.
To register for one of our in-person Jumbo Days and virtual Jumbo Month events, head to your Tufts portal.
Please note that there is a limit on the number of attendees we can accommodate for each Jumbo Day. Therefore, please refrain from booking travel until you have successfully registered for Jumbo Days. If a Jumbo Day is full, we cannot allow additional registrants, even if you have already booked accommodations.
While we encourage all admitted students to explore campus in person through Jumbo Days, we know other dates might work better for you and your family to join us on the Hill. If you are looking to visit campus outside of the April 5, April 12, and April 26 Jumbo Days, you are welcome to join us for a regularly scheduled tour and information session. If registration is full for the dates you're looking to visit, please email Tom Screnci at Thomas.Screnci@tufts.edu for visit options.
Looking for a place to stay? Many Boston-area hotels offer discounted prices for students, families and guests visiting Tufts. You can find a full list of partnering hotels on our university travel page.
We can't wait to see you soon!
This will be you hanging out with your friends on the Prez Lawn!
You will find your favorite study spots on campus...one of ours is the library roof (preferably in nice weather).
Jumbo can't wait to see you on the Hill!
