MPH at Tufts or BU?

[Zelda311]

Right now I am leaning towards Tufts because I think the program size is a better fit for me.... but I can't decide!  Does anyone have any thoughts?

Ask yourself the obvious questions:

 

Do you prefer suburbia or city?

Do you mind driving into Boston?

Which Financial aid package is better?

Which university has the better curriculum that will fit my needs?

 

Because only you can answer these questions yourself, our opinions may just shape on what you decide.

 

Good luck, in whatever you choose you will definitely be successful.

I believe Tufts' public health program is in the medical school campus in Chinatown, which is also in the city and about 10 minutes away from BU. But I know Tufts' PH program isn't ranked and the program size may be smaller, but that also means a smaller alumni network once you graduate. Your call.

Tufts is unranked, but that is not necessarily a sign of quality. US News only ranks Schools of Public Health, any program within a medical school is left out. I'm applying to both for January, though I'm leaning towards BU.
