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

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: 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.
