You'd probably be better off looking at the comments or posting questions on College Confidential.  Regarding your list, a few things jump out.  UVA is quite a bit bigger than the others.  The schools are generally good, but there are at different levels.  I'd probably rate Swarthmore, Georgetown, W&M, UVA, Davidson the highest tier.   I'd say Allegheny, St. Lawrence, and Muhlengerg are probably at bit lower.   Georgetown has DC location and Foreign Service School.  Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke are going to have that Seven Sisters feel.  Swarthmore is usually thought of as somewhat intellectual and academic, Richmond is pretty pre-professional, with Davidson somewhere in between.  A number of these have nice campus areas.  W&M, Richmond, Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore, Mount Holyoke, Dickinson, Union, and UVA come to mind.   I know it could be changing, but I've never been too big of an American U fan.  It seems indifferent at the undergraduate level and definitely below GU and GW in DC.[/quote]
