Without knowing if your d's goals are performance or music ed, it really comes down to teacher, ensemble opportunities and quality, and level of peers; to some extent, location and financial packages.

Historically, Ithaca has always had a fairly strong cello program. I know Lederer's rep as a violist and instructor. My best guess is the peer quality might be a bit higher at Ithaca, but that can change a bit year to year, or with faculty changes as well.
