I'd say, talk to the admissions folks and spend a weekend at each one.

If you're not entering a technical field, college is as much about social learning and building networks of contacts within your field as it is about learning classwork. Its about learning to meet deadlines under extreme pressure and with minimal oversight compared to high school. Its also about learning to work in small informal groups to get things done. But in the end, it has to be somewhere you feel comfortable and at home. Outside some hypercompetitive fields and academia, once you have 5 or 6 years of experience under your belt, where you went to school becomes mostly irrelevant for job-getting purposes.
