Accommodations
STAYING
AROUND TUFTS
The following
area hotels are divided into two broad price quotes (as quoted
2/01). With hundreds of colleges in the Boston area, rooms are
scarce in the fall (parents'/football weekends) and spring (commencements/reunions).
Early reservations are recommended; many do offer special discount
rates during the year, please inquire directly.
