A key member of the Boston area’s academic community since 1852, Tufts University has built a prestigious reputation as one of the finest institutions in the nation. A relatively small facility, Tufts enrolls an almost equal number of undergraduates and postgraduate students, with all freshmen and sophomores required to live on campus. Tufts is widely known for its emphasis on global perspectives, with its Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy serving as the oldest international relations graduate school, and huge numbers of students studying abroad.
Tufts University’s hometown of Medford straddles the line between the greater Boston urban landscape and the outlying natural environments. Middlesex Fells Reservation is a huge nature preserve on the north side of town, offering peace and tranquility whenever you want to get away from the hectic pace of the city. Alternatively, MBTA service can get you to Downtown Boston in thirty minutes, allowing you to easily take advantage of the rich culture and exceptional attractions in one of America’s most vibrant and historic cities.
Closer to home, Somerville’s Davis Square area is a local hub for everything from dining to entertainment: catch a flick at the Somerville Theatre, or enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee at Diesel Café. The neighborhoods surrounding Tufts are filled with great rental options, making it easy to find the perfect apartment, house, or condo with a short walk of campus.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
