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!!

Tufts University provides housing to their first year and sophomore students, and a select amount of the juniors and seniors. The rooms are pretty standard for dorm rooms (remember your first dorm room?), and there are many different types of housing to choose from. In addition, there are two possible areas to live-- uphill (where you are now), in the area including the old campus and the majority of the lecture halls, and downhill, south of the Campus Center, where the majority of the dorms (as well as the larger dorms) are. For the majority of upperclassmen, off-campus housing is the home location. Student-rented housing encompasses the school's main campus, with about a three-quarter mile radius.
Where you are standing now is at the intersection of campus and off-campus housing: Behind you, just u the hill, are two of the uphill dorms, Wren hall and Miller hall, and the smaller houses on the other side of the street, is one of the major off-campus housing areas.
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!!
