    A: This year, we will have two Reunion weekends. 

    May 15-17, 2026
    Classes of: 1956, 1961, 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996

  • Q: If I choose to stay on campus, where will I be? What can I expect in my room?

    A: Your stay on campus will be in one of the undergraduate residential halls, which offers convenience and the opportunity to relive your college days. Amenities are simpler than at a hotel. Accommodations have shared bathrooms, no air-conditioning, and no phones. 

    Rooms will be equipped with (subject to change):

    • Fresh bed linens
    • Pillow
    • Towels

    We recommend you bring:         

    • Extra Bath towels
    • Alarm Clock
    • Cell phone and charger

      Due to fire-safety policies, only one person is allowed in a single room and only two people are allowed in a double room. 
  • Q: Are children allowed at the Reunion Class parties?

    A: While pictures of your kids would be fun, actual kids might not be such a good idea. The Saturday night class party is 21+. If your child is of legal drinking age and you want to bring your grown-up child as your guest, then go for it! If they are little tykes, it may be best they skip the Saturday class party. (Please do bring photos to show and tell!) They are welcome earlier in the day at lunch. 

  • Q: Will there be activities/programming for my kids and/or teens?

    A: While on campus, please note that onsite Tufts-sponsored childcare services will not be available.  Children under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult caregiver, per the Tufts Minors on Campus policy. 

    For private childcare, please refer to the 'childcare resources' FAQ below. Also note that evening social events are not appropriate for individuals under the age of 21.  

  • Q: Are there drop-off programs for kids and teens? Do I have to supervise my children?

    A: There are no drop-off options; kids and teens must be supervised by a parent or adult caregiver at all times. Tufts staff, faculty and vendors managing activities cannot serve as the adult caregiver for minors other than their own children.  For more information: Tufts Minors on Campus policy. 

  • Q: What childcare resources are available? 

    A: University-sponsored childcare services are not available.   
       
    The following childcare resources are available locally to assist you in your planning. Families are strongly encouraged to run checks and interview prospective caregivers to make the best hiring decisions. To secure, vet, and arrange childcare, it is recommended that the process begin at least one (1) month in advance.

  • Q: I want to make sure there are a lot of people from my class. How do I do that?

    We want that, too! One great way to help is by becoming a Reunion Volunteer. Each class has a group of volunteers that help encourage attendance for Reunion. They send e-mails, make calls, and reach out to friends via social media to help guarantee a good class turn out. If you're not sure you want to be a volunteer, you can still encourage friends by reaching out to your personal networks and sharing your Reunion enthusiasm on Facebook. The most important part of encouraging attendance is leading by example. If you register for Reunion, your friends are more likely to register for Reunion! To learn more about volunteering, please email Alice.Shah@tufts.edu. 

  • Q: What's the best way to get to campus from the airport, train station, bus station, etc.?

    A: Driving Directions 

    For step-by-step directions to campus, type your starting address into Google Maps. Please read the parking directions below. 

    For Your GPS: 

    419 Boston Ave.
    Medford, MA 02155

    Public Transportation 

    If you are coming by the MBTA subway, often called the “T,” you can travel to Tufts on the Red Line or the Green Line. 

    You can take the Green Line E branch to the Medford/Tufts stop. When exiting the station onto Boston Ave, the main area of the Tufts Medford/Somerville campus is directly across the street on the hill.

    Alternatively, you can take the Red Line to the Davis Square station. Exit the Davis Square station on the College Avenue side. You may take the #94 or #96 bus (which both leave from the Davis Square T entrance directly across from the 7-Eleven convenience store, NOT the entrance next to the Somerville Theatre) or walk 15 minutes along College Avenue to the Tufts campus.

    • If you board the bus, you will get off at the stop titled "Boston Avenue at Tufts Garage." The bus stop is across the street from a large, seven-story parking garage. 
    • If you walk, turn right out of the subway station and follow College Avenue to the Powderhouse Square traffic circle. Cross Powderhouse Circle to continue on College Avenue. As you continue on College Avenue, the Tufts Campus will be on your left. 

    From Boston Logan Airport

    By car: Enter "Logan International Airport" as your starting destination into Google Maps, and Tufts University as your destination. 

    By public transit: Board the Silver Line Waterfront Bus at the front of your airport terminal. Ride to South Station (15–20 minutes), and get off the bus. At South Station, board the Red Line (subway) to Davis Square. It should be about a 15 to 20 minute ride. Follow the directions in the previous section on getting to Tufts by subway.

    From South Station (Amtrak/Bus)

    Board the Red Line of the subway to the Davis Square Station, and refer to the directions under "Public Transportation" to walk or take the bus to campus.

  • Q: Can I invite friends who were in the year above or below me to our class reunion? A1: Yes, you can! We encourage classmates to invite friends from adjacent years to join the reunion?

    A: Yes, you can! We encourage classmates to invite friends from adjacent years to join the reunion. It's a great way to reconnect with a broader group of friends and make the event even more enjoyable. When they register, just have them use the non-reunion year registration type, and they will be able to see all events

  • Q: When does registration open?

    A: Registration is opening in early February.
