Boston University or University of Washington?

I was recently accepted from a waitlist, and am now faced with choosing whether to attend Boston University or the University of Washington this summer. Assuming financials will be the same, which would you pick and why?

I'll be an OOR student at UW, and would be moving from Boston this summer. I know UW is ranked higher than BU, but comparing match lists lends BU the upper hand for matching in more north east-ernly residencies (from my perspective). Any thoughts on the education/clinical experience/residency prospects and general environment at each?

From what I can tell regarding their curriculums and mission statements, they couldn't be further apart in terms of personality. Maybe that would be a good deciding factor? Is there a major difference in tuition?
