As I usually advise students, if interested in research look online at professors to see specifically what they are researching and see which place has more doing research of interest to you. Schools often differ and studying with a prof who is researching something you like is a great opportunity. U Rochester focuses on undergrad research with approx 75+% of students engaging in it. It’s not at all difficult at that school to find a research position. Then too, I agree that LACs offer nice opportunities. With cost not a factor, it can all come down to who is researching things of interest to you? Choose that school.
