Hey, I'm considering Tufts University for my further studies. Just have one kinda bothering me concern, what's the size of the student community there? Small, medium, or more on the big side? I believe the size could really affect the overall campus vibe and the classroom settings.
Tufts University is considered a medium-sized university. The total undergraduate enrollment, for the latest data available, is around 5,907. For graduate and professional studies, there are about 6,001 students. So in total, you're looking at a student body of approximately 11,908 students. This creates a balanced environment that offers both the resources of a larger institution and the close-knit community of a smaller college.
Accordingly, you can get to know your professors and classmates well, as the student-faculty ratio at Tufts is about 9:1, and about 70% of their classes contain fewer than 20 students. Yet, the campus is lively and there are numerous clubs and activities to get involved in. It really blends the best of both worlds.
