Tufts University - Virtual Walking Tour [4k 60fps]

Walking in the main campus of Tufts University, located in Medford and Somerville, Massachusetts. From the memorial stairs, we entered the academic quad, which features some classic buildings built in the middle of the 19th century to the early 20th century. We also got a very nice view of the Boston skyline on the Tisch Library roof. Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy the video!

XD ----------------------------------------------------- Brief intro of Tufts: Tufts University is a private research university on the border of Medford and Somerville, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1852 as Tufts College by Christian universalists who sought to open a nonsectarian institution of higher learning. It was a small New England liberal arts college until its transformation into a larger research university in the 1970s, though its corporate name is still "The Trustees of Tufts College". It is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity." Tufts emphasizes active citizenship and public service in all its disciplines and is known for its internationalism and study abroad programs. Tufts' main campus is located on Walnut Hill in Medford and Somerville, about 5 miles (8.0 km) from Boston on the site of the original farm of Charles Tufts, the university's namesake. This campus houses all undergraduates in Arts & Sciences and Engineering, the graduate programs at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and all of the graduate programs in Arts & Sciences and Engineering. While the majority of the campus is in Medford, the Somerville line intersects it, placing parts of the lower campus in Somerville and leading to the common terms "Uphill" and "Downhill". The "Uphill" portion of the campus comprises the academic and the residential "Rez" quad, and is enclosed by a wrought-iron fence. Classes that contributed to the building of the fence are commemorated along its length. The academic quad contains the earliest buildings and was primarily built from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The "Uphill" portion can be accessed with the memorial stairs. Designed by the Olmsted Brothers in the 1920s, the memorial stairs form one of the main entrances to the university and allows direct access to the engineering school from the academic quad. The engineering school is part of the Tufts's "Downhill" portion of campus. Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tufts_U...
