^ Yea, it's a good plan. The admit rate for transfers are usually higher than freshman admit rate, so you'll have a better chance (but once again, it depends on how you do at Humboldt State).
Most of the students at Cal are very friendly and Cal itself is a very welcoming community, so you won't be looked down as inferior. Would it be difficult for you to make friends? If you simply go out and take the chance to meet new people, take the initiative in introducing yourself and stuff, you'll be making new friends in no time. So this really depends on you, but one thing is for sure - get rid of your shyness, it will just hurt you in the long run.
Campus housing is guaranteed for a year for transfers if you apply before a certain deadline.
