Unsure

Hi all.I'm a junior. Basically I feel like I am in a crossroads and am unsure what to do. I transferred here after my first year at another college and thought that it was exactly what I wanted. Now, I feel sort of lost at my new school. I'm very involved and everything and get pretty good grades. I just don't feel like this school is home. I know that I only have 1.5 years left so I don't know whether or not I should just take a semester off and intern in DC, transfer to a smaller school, or just suck it up and stay.

Me:
Junior in college
3.8 GPA
Political Science Major
Transferred from so-so Liberal Arts School to Top Public after first year

LAC (Old School):
2,000 students
Small class sizes
too isolated
not as many opportunities for employment

New School:
Top 25
Medium Sized Public University (15,000)
Classes 70+
Not learning as much
Many more opportunities for internships/involvement

I would endure your remaining years and stay. Your transfer options are very limited as a junior. You've been in your new school for just a few months, so there is still a lot of time to try and make the school work for you.
