I think it’s completely natural to have those feelings right after SIR’ing. I remember wondering why I chose UCSC over UCSD out of high school and I really started to regret it about a month before classes started. However, those feelings were completely gone once I moved into my dorm. College is what you make of it and it’s important that you enjoy where you are because you are ultimately investing in a crucial part your academic/professional career.

However, I can see a person choosing another university over UCSC due to certain majors. I actually transferred out of UCSC because I felt that the business management economics program was pretty weak for those interested in careers outside of accounting. I didn’t feel the curriculum would have prepared me enough compared to other students and also their recruiting for non-accounting majors was pretty dismal, so I had to make a tough decision and leave UCSC. Although I love UCSC and I still keep in contact with nearly all my friends there, I still don’t regret transferring out.
