As everyone has mentioned, the “feeling at home” problem you’ve got is one you need to answer before deciding. VT is probably the “easiest” school to fit into out of all the schools you listed.

GMU is a commuter school, it’s very disjointed and doesn’t have much school spirit.

JMU is the most similar to Tech in terms of student body

Richmond/UVA tend to be very elitist, if you don’t like the southern aristocracy/I’m better than you/my dad works on Wall St type you might want to talk to students at those campuses about the environment in the business school.

I was a marketing major at Tech, and the business schools at UVA/UR are dominated by Greek Life and the above mentalities I mentioned. Since you’re a freshman you really have no idea what each business major requires and probably don’t have a lot of experience in the fields. So you’re going to need to check the pre-reqs at all the schools you look at how they track out with each major, for example at VT you don’t really get into Mktg classes until 2nd semester of your junior year.
