Tilton Hall
Tilton Hall is one of the residence halls which
houses an all first-year option. The building is the
perfect size for promoting close interaction among its
residents. It is also large enough to house a
representative cross-section of the class. Tilton's
programs and resources are tailored to meet the
particular needs of first-year students. Best of all, a
Tufts scholar actually lives in Tilton. This
Scholar-in-Residence coordinates weekly discussions that
feature other Tufts scholars and mentors students about
their course selection, acclamation to college life and
overall well-being at Tufts University.
