I think your trip will show you a ton. All three are in different areas, though Hamilton and St. Lawrence will be the more similar of the three in that respect.

I’m a little biased otherwise that my middle son chose U Rochester. If your D is into research, that will put UR well ahead of the others IMO. Both merit and need-based aid are offered by UR and they made the school quite affordable for us - down to our EFC, but based upon the CSS. My guy spent the night there talking research (and life) with 6 other students and came home knowing it was the place for him. He would have been happy at other places he applied to and had similar costs at 2 others (ranged from LAC to Big State U), but there was no comparison once he spent the night.
