    Office of Undergraduate Admissions Self-Guided Campus Tour Welcome to Tufts While we are unable to provide you with a student-led tour at this time, we hope this self- guided tour of the Medford/Somerville campus will make your visit pleasant and informative. To help you become acquainted with the university, we encourage you to enter any of the campus facilities, or ask students on campus any questions you may have about the university, the facilities, campus directions, or their own Tufts experiences. Visitors with a disability that prevents them from using stairs should utilize the alternate tour route suggestion to the lower part of the campus by way of Packard Avenue and Professors Row (explained on page 7) Thank you for visiting Tufts. We hope you will enjoy exploring the campus and meeting the members of our community. Office of Undergraduate Admissions & Student Outreach Program Tufts University Self-Guided Tour The Beginning History Built on land donated by Medford farmer Charles Tufts and his wife Hannah, Tufts College was granted a charter in 1852 and became the 163rd institution of higher learning in the United States. Since that time, Tufts College has evolved into Tufts University and the “light upon the hill” now shines upon four campuses and over 100 university buildings. Campuses The campus that you are touring is the oldest of the campuses and is located in the communities of Medford and Somerville. The 150-acre property is home to the College of Liberal Arts, the School of Engineering, the College of Special Studies, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy (founded in 1933 as the first graduate school of its kind in the United States).
