One of my sons attended UR and got a great education. He got a merit scholarship but no financial aid. You have to be careful about making decision based on anecdotes or articles. The CT article, which is from 2016, states that the financial aid office has changed since then with new administrators. However, UR uses the Profile which counts more assets than the FAFSA. Lehigh uses that as well.
Both are great choices. UR has a medical school so there may be more opportunities for research, especially in genetics.
