Why Tufts: Then & Now

Apr 02
Jumbo Talk

Then:

My academic goals include optimizing my writing skills so I can increase awareness about world crises; Tufts provides my ideal multi-disciplinary, globally-focused liberal arts environment where I can double-major in English and International Relations. The IR Program’s depth offers significant opportunities for me to expand my understanding of world developments while working closely with professors and other students on ways to influence them. Visiting classes, sitting in the Tower Café at Tisch, and talking to students exposed me to an inclusive community with a warmth and energy attuned with my own. There is no place I’d rather be.

Now:

Tufts because nowhere else can you take an entire class on Hitchcock's cinematic genius alongside a Leadership course that pushes you to learn about what really drives your passions using personality tests (#funfact I'm an E(extrovert)N(intuitive)T(thinker)P(perceiver)).

Tufts because you’re exposed to a community fostering collaboration over competition. While school is tough, there will never be a moment where a student or faculty member won’t be there for you.

Tufts because I found friends who helped me recognize my true interests (fitness, music, and writing), and I hope you find yours too.
