i thought i'd like bu, but wasn't too fond of it when i was there compared to nyu (although really nice and welcoming faculty)
if it's not too far or expensive of a trip i'd go, you never know how a school is until you see it for yourself.
i almost didn't go to the nyu interview just because i heard so many bad things about it, but i was pleasantly surprised when i got there.
so if you're curious about boston, and it's not too expensive to get there, i'd go and check it out.
good luck
