Have you visited each campus as well? Academics are, of course, very important and having said that, my D visited all the schools she initially wanted to apply to and discovered (much to our relief because who wants to end up on a campus that isn’t a good fit?) that two of them weren’t even a consideration for her after experiencing the atmosphere. It really matters. My suggestion is to absolutely consider the academics, but don’t discount your own experience of the campus culture.
