When I first came to Tufts as a high school senior, I fell in love with the campus. It was exactly what I had been looking for in a university: near a city, but with room to breathe; the right program, everything fit perfectly. The only downside-- incredibly few caches! So with this series, I want to introduce people to the Tufts that I love, and put some new caches out there. So, I hope you come to enjoy the University as much as I do! As this series is placed over a college campus, the muggle factor is high (more so in some places than others), so please be sure to use stealth. Extra kudos given for including pictures with your logs.
Happy Caching!!

One issue that college students face across the country, and have for ages, is the issue of student health. With the existence of an all you can eat buffet of food and no parental guidance, the " freshman fifteen", a colloquial reference to the fifteen pounds almost all freshmen get upon entrance to college, has become almost commonplace. However, universities, including tufts, do their best to combat this health challenge by offering very healthy food in the dining halls and giving students access to gyms.
The big blue building across the street from ground zero of this cache is there tufts athletic complex, housing a gym for students as well s as various gyms and areas for varsity athletes. Also, if you look south of the cache site, you will see a variety of athletic fields , used for baseball, rugby, and softball.
Parking for this series is accessible to the non-Tufts public in the Dowling Hall parking garage on Boston Avenue for a fee of eight dollars, or along Boston Avenue free of charge… Anywhere else is at your own risk!
Super special thank you to Tufts Facilities and Linda Snyder to approving the placement for this series of Geocaches!!
