Looking for CS Schools to Transfer To

The tough thing with UCs and CSUs is that almost all of their transfer guidelines are for students transferring from community colleges, so I’ve had trouble finding information for transferring from another 4-year-university. I’ve looked into Davis and Berkeley, but both transfer applications have been closed for a while now.

Honestly, I chose UNH because it was was the least-worst of the schools that I applied to. I didn’t really know what I was doing when I was applying for schools, and ended up not liking any of the schools I applied to when I toured them. I also applied as medical laboratory science major, which is a pretty niche major so I didn’t have a lot of options. I decided to switch to mechanical engineering after I applied though.

Over time, I’ve found things about UNH that I like, but I don’t think they’re worth me not transferring. It’s a small point, but I really like the architecture and new-ness/niceness of the buildings and dorms at UNH. It’s a really pretty campus, and it’s laid out pretty nicely (it’s no more than a 10 minute walk really to get anywhere on campus). However, it’s kinda out in the middle of nowhere and I’ve also realized that I miss being in a large metropolitan area. I like the winter weather, but I wouldn’t mind being back in California weather either.

I don’t think I’m so set on transferring that I would take a gap-year (last year I might have given a different answer). I’ve already delayed my graduation by a semester or two by switching majors, so I don’t really want to delay any further.
