Looking for more info on colleges

Hi, I'm currently a HS senior with a bunch of options that are all over the place so I was hoping to get some more info on them as schools and the opportunities outside of school that they offer. Research can only get me so far. I'm a solid student (3.3 UW gpa, 35 ACT, all AP/Honors classes) with solid EC's. I'm looking to study business/finance/economics at the moment, although that could change and I am somewhat interested in the pre-law track. Also, cost is not a huge concern as I am planning to do ROTC (that could change also). 

Side note - I'd be attempting to play lacrosse (either recruited or as a walk-on) at all of these schools.

St. Lawrence - lacrosse recruit and great lax program, I think it would be a great time and has everything I'm looking to do academically although not a high ranking, along with a great sounding alumni network but the isolated location is somewhat concerning. 

Loyola MD - lacrosse recruit and by far the best/coolest lacrosse team I've been recruited to play for. The school just doesn't seem super appealing but the awesome athletic facet of it makes the school appealing. 

Cornell - Definitely a reach but offers awesome academic programs in a top flight school and environment. I'm fine with the weather in Ithaca also. This is almost definitely where I'd go if I got in.

Trinity - close to home and a nice campus, but the location is suspect and the school seems very cliquey. Apparently the school offers good post-college opportunities and is a fun time.

Colby - seems like a fun school and I liked the people there. I'd be on the lacrosse team. Academically it seems solid but the location is concerning. 

Dartmouth - definite #2 to Cornell but would be ecstatic to go here, definitely a reach though. 

Lehigh - good lacrosse program, solid academics and seems like a very fun school. Everyone I have spoken to about it has good things to say. The campus and layout is unique and I'm pretty neutral on it. 

There are many more schools that I applied to but these are the bunch I was hoping to get more intel on.
