H, Y, or P a good fit for me?

I am a female junior tennis player who is being heavily recruited by H, Y, and P (taking OVs to all of them). I’m a bright person with all As and some AP creds, but honestly, without my tennis I would have had to do a lot better to have a chance at any of these schools. I know there are a lot of threads comparing HY and P but I’d like to hear some opinions regarding the differences between their:

-undergraduate focus (but obviously also concerned about opportunities after undergrad)
-financial aid (sounds like P has the best, I have yet to complete financial aid pre reads)
-general mood (I hear Yallies are happiest, especially compared to H?)
-safe environment (I don’t plan to go to clubs and late night bars. but still i’d like to know)
-travel convenience (my family lives in the south so I’d need to fly)
-residential system (i know this is probably hard to comment on unless you’re a student, but how were the dorms, eating arrangements, etc?)
-campus (which do you think is the prettiest? easy to get around?)

Sorry for the long post, but I’m likely going to end up at one of these schools and need all the info in one place if I can get it! Thanks!!
