Any suggestions on colleges?

i'm a sopre in high school and just thought i'd start looking around at some colleges. i realize it's really early, but i just thought i'd get a head start on it. i'd like to go to school in california or one of the carolinas, but it doesn't have to be there. i just want to be on or near a coastline, maybe a little snow time to time, and lots of stuff to do, but not totally touristy. i really want school that has personality - somewhere with lots of activities, clubs, traditions, and fun stuff to do, and lots of opportunities, like studying abroad and field studies and stuff like that. it doesn't have to be in a city, but it can't be in the middle of nowhere. it would also be nice to have a campus that isn't just buildings and parking lots....somewhere with a nice setting. it also has to have really good academics. i'm not sure what i want to major in, but lately i've been thinking about photography and zoology (which are total opposites, i know) so i'd like a school that offers both if possible. and i probably don't want to go to a HUGE school.....my high school is in the middle of nowhere and only has about 700 kids in it, so i think i'd be really overwhelmed with 35,000 students. the school also HAS to have a field hockey team. hockey is my life, and if i can't play in college, i'm not interested. any suggestions? i have a 4.0 gpa, scored 2010 on my psats if i'm reading the website right, am taking 2 ap cles next year and hopefully 3 or more my senior year, and have TONS of extra curriculars everywhere from sports to honor societies to youth group, so i'm not worried about being accepted. my family also doesn't have very much money saved up, and while i'm sure i can get scholarships, i can't go somewhere that costs $100,000 a year. does anyone have any colleges that might be right for me? thanks so much! :)
