wow your serious about college and i read your info thing and your only a freshie??
you really dont need to worry about it much yet BUT its great that you are props to you !
ok anyways to your question...
check out the websites for each individual school that you are thinking of or check out princeton review and college board is a great site for that and things that you need (tests, costs ect) as well as scholarships. i suggest setting up an account there becuase it gives you a type of schedule thing that depending on your grade level, what you should be doing to prepare for college.
very handy!
also to add to another question that i answered of yours on what o you should do to get into a good college....
since you are a freshie, take as many honors and ap classes (ap is usually junior and senior) as YOU can handle. these will boost your gpa (usually, but it brought down mine) and get ahead as much as you can!
good luck!

Good answers from the others. The key to finding a college that's right for you is to be clear about what you are looking for first, then you can get the information easily at lots of sites such as those listed in the other answers.
Most important is, what are you looking for in a college? What kind of person are you? You can end up at a huge campus in a major urban environment or a very small college in a rural small town. Factors to consider are what you want to study, how well you function in different environemnets, how adaptable you are... for example if you came from a small town you might want the warmth and intimacy of a small college, or you might be seeking the excitement and diversity of a big institutioin. It's easy to feel lost of course but its easy to find new things and new ideas and new ways. So it pretty much depends on you what's ideal.
After that you look at practicalities -- can you get in, can you afford it, will it be too far or too close to home, whatever. Usually you can find more than one place that meets your needs and you can porbably find one where all the factors work. But think about what you want college to be in terms of academics, social life, new experiences, etc. and you'll be started ona good track.
As to cost and debt, remember that this is an investment that keeps paying back for your entire life. The average college grad makes about $15K more every year ($600,000 over forty years of career) than a HS grad and if you go on to grad school add $12K or so per year to that... so what's really important is that you make a good choice about what will work for you to get the education that will lead you to a career and life that are more rewarding.
Good luck!

Princeton Review.
If you use the Counselor-O-Matic, you give them all your information (GPA, extracurriculars, what state you want, etc.) and it matches you to schools.
You can also just search the names of colleges and it gives you all the information about them.
Good luck!
