The amount of financial resources and community resources available for low-income first-generation students is shocking. Sophomore: Tufts University is a great school and let me tell you why. I was finally able to satisfy my love for learning here.
You're forced to learn time management skills. The problem set difficulty are elevated beyond a typical school's, and they force you to collaborate with others. The academics are exceedingly difficult by content and pace. Each dorm has an extant history and culture you can automatically learn about someone by what dorm they live in. The campus is extremely welcoming and you really get to be who you want to be it's very beautiful. Some come in "normal", others finally get to truly express the weird and unique that they've been suppressing their whole lives. Some are decently smart and work hard enough to get in, others come in doing Olympiads from when they were 5 years old. The baseline of this place is that everyone is very smart. Sophomore: Currently reaching near the middle of my time here, and this school truly works you to the bone. 1-1 teaching sessions, research work with professors is easily attainable because professors care about their students.Įxit opportunities: plentiful, prosperous, and very accessible!. For someone who comes from a poor family whose total earnings are less than $30K/year, all this was an enormous benefit!Īcademics: Williams is very strong because its professors take time to teach you the material. Other one-off expenses they covered: getting a visa, passport renewal, dental expenditures (over $10K). The College also pays for your medical insurance, ALL book expenditures, yearly round-trip to your home country (with all expenses). Apply even if you think you won’t get in!įinancials: I am a recent alumnus from a foreign country who had to pay less than 3K per year(!) towards my education at Williams the rest was covered by non-repayable Williams grants. Alum: TL DR: Williams is one of the best schools out there, especially for economically underprivileged and/or international students.
