If I applied to the UofA and -God forbid- was forced to go there, what do my prospects look like for transfering after two years to a better institution?

The UofA has classes with like 800 people in them (I have friends that go there, obviously) and I seriously can’t see myself being motivated in that kind of environment. I mean, it’s a will-power issue, but like the people I know who go there rarely go to class (even after getting good grades at our HS) and some have gotten even more mixed up with drinking and drugs–it’s easier to do when you already have friends that do it, too. I just don’t know if I want to put myself in that environment. I just can’t see any pros for going to the UofA save finances.

What about taking a gap year? I could defer my admission and work full-time before enrolling somewhere.

In regards to dntw8up’s post–I plan on getting my MFA, not a master’s degree in Classics (at least, right now that’s the plan).
