I transferred from a 4-year public city university into a private engineering school nearly 30 years ago, but the basic challenges should be the same. You face the following:
You have to adjust to big campus. It takes time to confortably navigate the campus and the bureaucracy.
Study groups have already been formed, and everyone else will know more people than yourself.
Other students will have had the “skinny” on the their professors.

These are not overwhelming challenges. It depends on how outgoing you are. My first semester was stressful, but by my second semester, I was pretty comfortable.
