Go to Georgetown. If you want to work in IR, it makes no sense to go to Tufts as an undergraduate. The Fletcher school is where the IR rests at Tufts (not undergraduate). Also, while you may think you are close to Boston and the college scene in Medford, you are not ( I laughed at the part where Tufts connects to the BU, MIT and Harvard college scene, don’t know where you got that idea).
Boston is also well known for being pretentious in the sense that people think they are worldly when in fact they really aren’t ( there are a lot of local yokels). Boston is a small city when compared to a major metro and opportunities for IR are few and far between (unless you want to be a Prof in which case I’d say Boston is for you). If you wanted to work in finance would you study in Minneapolis or New York/London? If you get any internships which lead to jobs you will be better positioned in DC than elsewhere. Plus Georgetown has the school of foreign service so there are multiple options.

Have no opinion on Dartmouth. Other than it is very cold in winter.
