If I were you I would get a good college guide book such as the Fiske Guide, which has lots of descriptive information about each college it covers including what the students are like, etc. Once you find a few schools you like, then it is easier to find others like it.
Also, you can generate a good starting list by using a college search engine to identify schools with your majors, and other criteria of your choosing (such as selectivity). Then you would need to research further to get an idea of the school’s intellectual atmosphere…
There is a college search engine here on CC [College Admissions, Search, and Financial Aid Help from College Confidential - College Admissions, Search, and Financial Aid Help from College Confidential](http://www.collegeconfidential.com/college_search/)
But I also like College Navigator because you can download the results into a spreadsheet [College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics](College Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics)
