How much should a person's "gut feeling" matter when transferring?

I’m having some second thoughts because I don’t feel like I have the strong feelings or passions behind my decision that my other friends who are transferring have (I know a lot of people from my school who are transferring, too, haha.) I feel like I have strong reasons to transfer and it really excites me at the thought of going to my top choice and I’m already fantasizing going there. I really love the idea of going elsewhere, exploring different schools but well.

I like my friends here. I really do. I’ve grown really fond of them over the past few months. I’ve met some really nice professors who have been extraordinary to me. I’ll really miss these people a lot and all the different clubs and things I’ve been doing while I’ve been here.

I guess it sounds silly now that I put it this way; what I mean to say is that I’m not sure what to do because I don’t completely hate my school. I’ll actually probably miss it if I leave. So I’m so confused as to what to do because I don’t have as strong of a conviction to leave because well. I don’t have really strong feelings to leave.

So is it wrong or a bad sign for me to still feel like I’ll miss my school if I transfer? Because I haven’t seen this addressed before and I was wondering if this ever happens to people who do choose to transfer. Thanks :)
