Tufts University Campus Life

Can't complain about food at Tufts at all, especially from what I've seen in surrounding universities.

Two dining halls and food stores around campus that are all covered by the meal plan.

The food is pretty good. If you're a vegetarian, there are options for you (even though there isn't as much variety in veg options than there are with meat options.) There are two dining halls, the Kosher deli, and Hodgdon, so if one place doesn't have what you want, there's bound to be another with something that you'll like.

Buffet style makes the Freshman 15 hard to fight. Sometimes it gets repetitive but you have to be creative.

Our food is good--especially the Butternut Squash Bisque. That's to die for! We also have a lot of theme nights: Mardi Gras, Thanksgiving, Pajama Party (Breakfast for Dinner), Under the Sea, Dim Sum Brunch and many more. We also have regular Stir Fry Nights. There are also non-dining hall options, we have a few cafes, a to-go/convenience store like spot called Hodgdon, and late night dining at the Commons. You'll never go hungry. If you do, make sure to order a Blue-Zone from Helen's! You will never regret it.

Tufts dining is fantastic, they have such a wide variety of options that I never get tired of the same old food. There are always sandwiches, soups, and salads available, in addition to the two or three entrees offered per meal. There is also a wide selection of vegetarian foods at every meal.

Tufts dining was ranked #9 in the US for a reason: the food is great There are vegetarian options, meat-lovers options, a deli, a pizza station, a huge salad bar, and more! There are 2 main dining halls, Carmichael and Dewick, and a to-go place, Hodgdon. Tufts Campus Center also has many stations where you can get a bite!

Absolutely superb, considering the traffic that goes through the halls each day. Dewick and Carmichael both serve an amazing variety of food, including options for vegetarians and those that suffer from allergies. Considering the fact that we're talking college cafeteria food, the cooks and staff do an excellent job, and I actually look forward to every meal.

For being dining hall food, Tufts has great food. It generally doesn't quite hold up when it comes to Asian food but there's always a whole host of options at each dining hall, let alone the fact that there are three main eating spots. Overall pretty quality, but home-cooked food is, obviously, better.

OK, food here is incredible. I mean seriously it wins awards. They have dining choices from cafes to food court style dining that accommodates almost any food neurotic. Vegans,,,check; gluten-free... check. Meat lover....got ya covered. Specialty foods....plenty. Killer salad bars, ice cream, breakfast cereal choices. A running Thanksgiving day dinner every night (turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries). PIzza....yep. Sandwiches.... I eat better here than at home. Sorry, Mom. They have flexible dining plans, which you should look into. If you don't eat all your meals in the dining halls you force yourself to sample the funky eateries in nearby Davis Square, Havard Square, Teele Square...Porter square....even Boston.

Greek life has been pretty bleak because of allegations of misconduct. Some Greek houses have been suspended.

It's as present as you want it to be. You can make greek life your whole world, attend the occasional party but not really get involved, or ignore it and almost forget entirely that it is there.

Doesn't have a huge impact but there are always weekend parties - usually frequented by freshmen and sophomore - and they're all generally pretty cool and chill.

hahhahahhahahah.....oh wait you're serious. There are about 3 frats and one sorority. They play a very small part in life here. You can join if that is important, and they are active, but if you are not into Greek life you are definitely not left out of anything.

I don't really participate in frat life so I am unable to speak on the matter

Greek life is very minor and does not play a large role in college life.

Eh, it's not a party school.

I'm in a coed fraternity, which is a little different from normal Greek houses, but I absolutely love it. Greek life isn't dominant on campus, but for people who want to get involved, it's a great set of houses.
