CMU is currently ranked No.1 in CS. For me I would definitely go to CMU. However, CMU is very very very intense. It’s really up to her to decide which way to go because there is no wrong choose between UIUC and CMU. Also, since we are comparing between a public school and a private school. See if she will prefer smaller class size. I believe CMU will provide more research opportunity. If she wants to do Phd later on, I think CMU will be the better place for her.
