Winter Sports Recap

May 16

Men's Basketball The men's basketball team enjoyed early success this winter but ultimately was unable to have the season the players and coaches had hoped for. The squad rode an early five-game winning streak to open the year at 6-2, with one of the two losses coming in an 89-87 battle with eventual Elite Eight team Brandeis. After entering conference play at 9-4, the Jumbos posted a 1-8 record in the NESCAC and missed out on postseason play. Four of the team's eight in-conference losses came by five points or less.

In a way, I suppose studying abroad is sort of like college, just all compressed into one magical year. You're in a different place with more independence than you've ever known, with strange people who aren't all from your home (except home now means the United States instead of just a suburb in New Jersey).

"There are so many emotions at the end of a season. And nobody likes to talk about it, but one of them is fear. Fear that you've come this far, and it could all end. The dream could die. But me? I like the fear. It means I'm close. It means... I'm ready."

Four Years in Review | 2004-2005

May 16

When members of the Class of 2008 first set foot on the Hill in 2004, they learned very quickly that Tufts students are, to say the least, a politically active bunch. Matriculating in the heart of the 2004 presidential election season, the then-freshmen watched and participated as the campus kicked into full campaign frenzy, with student groups on both sides of the aisle holding political events, discussions and rallies (including the Tufts Democrats' "Kegs for Kerry" event, which drew hundreds of partiers and raised money for the campaign of Democratic Sen. John Kerry).
