Three great choices so I agree that fit should be the priority when choosing. FWIW my D just graduated from Lafayette and absolutely loved it–she was targeting her search towards LACs from the start. I know people who have been happy at all schools.

And agree with @ClarinetDad16 – the last Bloomberg rankings of undergraduate b-schools was out-of-wack that Bloomberg has said they will discontinue their undergraduate b-school rankings. Villanova has a fine business school, but it is not above Wharton, Haas, Ross etc.

But most importantly, you are a freshman. It is too early to target specific schools. Do you best academically, learn from your classes, study for standardized tests when the time is right, get involved in activities you enjoy, find friends, have fun. HS should not be a four year exercise in getting into college, it should be an experience to be appreciated on its own merits. I would stay away from CC until your junior year.
