Medford/Somerville, Mass. – Over the last month, Tufts juniors have been packing their notebooks… and their passports on their way to class. A large portion of this year’s third-year students will hit the books in libraries and classrooms in 40 different countries across the world.

    In total, students who study outside the United States comprise about 40 percent of Tufts’ junior class – a significantly higher percentage than the nation’s average of about 10 percent.
