Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

You can generalize Tufts guys and girls and still be fairly accurate. They aren’t the best looking—usually a bit on the dorky side—and probably weren’t super-popular in high school, but they still really enjoy partying and socializing. Although Tufts is not a huge school, there are enough students and a relatively even mix of guys and girls that you’re sure to find attractive coeds. Many students agree that the athletes are particularly hot, especially the soccer and lacrosse players.

As far as the dating scene goes, freshmen are generally single; then about halfway through sophomore year, people begin pairing off. If you’re still a loner by senior year, you’ll probably find yourself surrounded by couples. Once everyone is attached, it seems like the dating scene is nonexistent and that all the good ones are taken. Never fear—Boston has thousands upon thousands of college students passing through every year, so there is always hope and plenty of opportunities to meet new people.

Guys And Girls

They're all pretty awesome people. Most people have the cleverest sense of humor and are so different it is hard to generalize. You'll find someone you'll love being around. Most people here are normal-looking, which should be the norm for people in general. Like in the real world, most people are not model-worthy nor funny-looking.

There are so few hot girls at Tufts that the ones that are get pretty stuck up about it. There's a lot of ugly people, although not that many fat people. It's depressing.

Facts

Social Scene

While other prestigious schools nearby might be buried in their books, Tufts students, while still studious, won't hesitate to leave their books behind and all of a sudden turn into "people people." There are parties going on every weekend, in every corner of campus (or off-campus for that matter), and often, students will take their parties into Boston or Davis Square. There is a certain amount of camaraderie among all students in the Boston area, and they are pretty willing to have any Tufts student come to parties. Though cliques may develop around certain extracurricular activities, no group is exclusive, and they are always looking for new people to tag along. Since first-year students are all on the same meal plan and don't have much homework yet, they tend to spend a lot of time hanging out in dining halls and common rooms. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors pretty much have their friends from their year, and parties become more exciting and common with the passing of each year.

Hookups or Relationships?

Freshman year is dominated by "freshman lust," and freshman relations mainly consist of hookups, except for those few couples who meet the first week of school and stay together until finals week of senior year when they finally realize that they aren't right for each other. Halfway through sophomore year, people begin to pair off and generally stay paired off through junior and senior year. A lot of students complain that by their third year, all the guys or girls worth being with at Tufts are taken. Fortunately for those still unattached, Boston is ripe with students from 55 other colleges.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

In the dorms, at frat parties, off-campus parties, and in the Wilderness Group

Dress Code

Tufts students either have their own really unique style, or that standard New England college fare—collared shirts and jeans for the guys; tank tops, jeans, black pants, and tall black shoes for the girls.

Did You Know? The University has an official policy that says "students may not engage in sexual activity while their roommate is present in the room."
