I'm curious about the size of Tufts' undergraduate crowd. How many students are enrolled there in total? Trying to get a sense of what the campus vibe might be like with that many students.
For the academic year of 2024-2025, Tufts University has an undergraduate student population of about 5,907. This size allows for a balanced college experience. It's large enough for students to continually meet new people and not feel like everyone knows everyone (which can be the case at smaller schools). But at the same time, it's not so large that students feel lost in the crowd (like they might at a huge state school).
The smaller size fosters a more intimate and connected community atmosphere. Lots of students know one another by face, if not by name. Plus, it generally ensures lower student-to-faculty ratios and smaller class sizes, allowing for more individualized attention and closer relationships with professors. So, the "vibe" at Tufts tends to be collaborative and tight-knit, with a small-campus feel.
