- [Sam] I'm Sam Clark with Crimson Education
and we're here at Tufts university in Medford Massachusetts
to ask some big questions.
(upbeat music)
Check out the elephant.
(Upbeat music)
- Ready?
- Yup
- You sound hyped, "yeah I'll do it"
cool.
What is the best thing about Tufts?
- [Person 1] The community.
- [Person 2] I think it's the community.
- [Person 3] Are the people here, like the students.
Their really nice.
- [Person 4] Uhmm I'd have to say all of the people.
I've met some...
I've been here for actually a month
and I've met so many amazing people.
- [Person 5] Just like the people are so humble
and down to earth.
And everyone is super friendly, wants to get to know you.
It's always comfortable, just like walking around
you'll always find someone to talk to so.
- [Sam] Great
- [Person 6] But I'm from New York and it's such
a different vibe.
Like in New York everyone is just kinda like
doing their own thing
and here like if you sit down across from someone you can
like have a conversation with someone who've never
even met before.
- [Sam] Contrast, what is the worst thing about Tufts?
- [ Person 7] Probably walking uphill
and downhill all the time.
- [Person 8] Maybe just like the hills.
- [Person 9] Uhmm the hills.
- [Person 10] Honestly walking the hills, you really feel
like a calf burn , you know what I mean like...
- [Sam] It's a lot.
- [Person 10] But honestly
- [Sam] But is it worth it?
You get a workout
- [Person 10] Yeah it's worth it.
You get to see your friends and go to class.
- [Sam] Perfect.
- [Person 10] You're getting toning, it's great.
- [Person 11] Well, our great greek got shot down
last year so frat parties really haven't been
happening that much.
- [Person 12] ...topic right now, but the social life
absolutely could be better but I think that will improve
as fraternities get reinstated.
- [Person 13] For me it feels like there's a huge difference
between athletes and their social scene a
nd non-athletes and their social scene
And I have nothing bad to say actually
- [Sam] Oh nothing bad.
So I don't even need to ask that question.
- [Person 13] No, don't even.
I'm not even going to ask the second question.
- [Sam] What does typical weekends look like for you?
- [Person 14] Typically hang out with friends in dorms
or like go to athletic houses
or going into Boston.
- [Sam] Great.
- [Person 15] I usually hang out with my friend
and then go to a party at one of the athletic houses
- [Person 16] My team and I are actually going apple picking
this weekend which I am really excited about.
- [ Person 17] Typically I hang out with some friends,
in my room and we'll just chat and listen to music
and that sort of thing.
And then sometimes I got to a couple parties
but nothing too major.
- [Person 18] A weekend night is typically hanging out
with friends or I'm hanging out with the team.
We can got to Davis or hang out and go out
or sometimes even do homework so
- [Sam] And what did you write you application essays about?
- [Person 19] Mostly myself but then how I thought
I'd fit in at Tuft.
- [Person 20] Oh photography.
I run a photography business and I wrote about how much
I love that, how much I love doing that.
- [Person 21] I wrote one of them about skinny dipping
yeah, at my lake house.
I wrote one about my family
and I wrote one just in general about why I liked Tufts.
- [Person 22] I wrote my application essay on track and how
it shaped me and influenced my life.
- [Person 23] Oh my gosh, I think I wrote it on hiking
- [Person 24] I wrote my main essay about my interest
in like food tied to like the environment like sustainablity
stuff.
- [Sam] We heard about this Jumbo fight song,
Jumbo is the elephant.
You guys know the Jumbo fight song?
- [Person 24] I don't know it -
- [Sam] Jumbo is the elephant?
- [Person 24] Yes.
- [Sam] Do don't know the Jumbo song?
- [Person 24] Can't say I know it of by heart.
- [Person 23] I don't know it, I don't know it.
- [Person 25] I don't know the Jumbo fight song
- [Person 26] I absolutely do not know it
