Mount Holyoke v. Bennington College v. SUNY at Geneseo v. Goucher v. Antioch College

I was accepted to these 5 schools and I was wondering if anyone has anything to tell me comparing and contrasting any or all of them.

I really liked Mount Holyoke when I visited: the campus was beautiful, I loved the diversity, the women seemed smart but not ultra-competitive, and everyone was very open and welcoming.
However I am worried about going to a women's school. I am a girl who generally has more guy friends and I don't know how I would deal with being a an all-women's school. Also, while the all of the sisterhood and all of the traditions seem really cool, I don't know if they're really me. Can someone please give me your experiences and comparisons to Mount Holyoke and these other schools?

About Me:
Female
3.85 Unweighted GPA
29 ACT
Newspaper co-Editor in Chief
Yearbook Senior Editor in Chief
Chair of the Social Action Board

I'm a Senior at a boarding college-prep high school with 160 students.
Interested in humanities such as ethics, philosophy, and English, as well as fashion/costume design (which I have a lot of experience in and would like to integrate into my college experience somehow even if I don't actually major in it).
I want a liberal, small school which will have a good balance of academics and arts.
I want a school with geographical, racial, religious, and socio-economical diversity.
Non-academic interest include theater, listening to music, farming and sustainable practices, and swing dancing.


Please give me some input into which school you think may suit me best or any comments you have the schools that are not specific to me.

Thank you!
