Tufts is a very department-oriented university. If you're interested in engineering or physics, Tufts probably isn't the place for you. However, if you want to study English, Japanese, Classics, International Relations (et cetera), Tufts will meet (and hopefully exceed) your expectations. The French department (of which I feel qualified to speak) isn't the best in the country by any means, but possesses strength in its flexibility. As a freshman, I was allowed to take a course with some graduate students, thereby skipping the foundation literature courses. The faculty work with you, and if you're a motivated student, they'll help you in any way that they can: you'll never be forced to do work that is "below" you. The keys to personal academic success at Tufts are to show interest in your work and to go over the top in quality. All of my professors care about quality above all, and I think that in the face of overwhelming intellectual apathy that one may find elsewhere, this is a refreshing fact.
