I’d 100% recommend Tufts. I had an incredible experience there, and it’s a place where many international students thrive. Also, pretty hard to go to an all-girls school if you’d rather have guy friends! Tufts is 50-50, which would be much more up your alley!

Give us a bit more information about what you’re looking for, though. They’re both 2 of the best schools in the country, but there are some differences. Tufts has a beautiful suburban campus just outside Boston (a large city, but no New York), while Barnard is right in the hustle and bustle of NYC, with a less expansive campus. Tufts has diverse strengths in social sciences (political science, economics, international relations) and natural sciences/engineering. Barnard is more humanities-focused, in my experience. Both will provide a solid liberal arts experience, and I’m sure you’ll be happy wherever you end up.
