Visit, visit, visit...after you apply to as many schools as humanly possible if you haven't visited already.
THAT is what will help you decide. Pick the school that the instant you step on campus you feel "home." I chose my school--a PAC-10 engineering school (19,000 students in a 50,000 person college town)--because it felt comfortable. It felt good. It fit. Liberal arts is definitely not the focus, but I decided that I didn't want to go to the big liberal arts state school as it didn't feel right. It was the best decision I've ever made--Oregon State turned out to not only be perfect for me, but the English department here is far better than anything I would have gotten at the University of Oregon. It's smaller, more intimate, and the professors rule.
So choose, ultimately, what feels best--but apply now. Applications never hurt.
