You’re right, that description is too vague and would match many hundreds of schools here!

I think you could start by getting a good college guide book, the kind with **descriptions **of the schools, not just statistics. “The Best 377 Colleges” by the Princeton Review, “Big Book of Colleges” by the College *******, or “Fiske Guide to Colleges”.
You don’t need to read any of these cover to cover, just browse to start finding potential schools or even potential types of schools. Also, the introductory chapters have useful advice on how to start looking, developing criteria, assessing your odds etc.
