The only Guilford grad I know, had a Bonner Scholarship and was in the Honors Program. She chose Guilford because it offered her the best financial deal, graduated debt-free, and has no regrets. She is now happily pursuing a career related to the major she completed there.

If you weren’t offered enough aid as a transfer to Hampshire to make it as affordable as Guilford, then there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to imagine that your aid package will somehow magically improve in future years.

What is your likely major? What information do you have from the departments and career centers at Guilford and Hampshire that is solid evidence that Hampshire is enough of an improvement so as to balance out the extra cost?

That your mom doesn’t know anyone who ever went to Guilford other than you (and just for this one year), is not enough reason to transfer.
