Well if you are getting 15K more from UofR and your ultimate goal is research and grad school then UofR would be fine. There is a hospital right across the street (Strong Memorial /University of Rochester Medical Center) that is well known for research.
UofR has a beautiful campus but other than the hospital not much else useful nearby that you could really walk to.
CMU has Oakland and Squirrel Hill and a wonderful surrounding area.
If the money was the same I would probably say CMU but in your situation UofR would be a good choice.
