noimagination: In my major I know of at least a dozen people who dropped out of engineering, and all but one stayed at the university. Every single one of them left because they were struggling. People generally do not transfer out of engineering if they are doing well. Even outside of my major I only know of two people that dropped out of engineering even though they were doing well. One had some huge religious epiphany and decided to become an army chaplain, and one transferred to English where he’d wanted to be all along but his parents wouldn’t let him.
