Should I apply as a spring transfer?

@teleia In the research space, my options are exceedingly limited. If I want to do any sort of research related to my major, which I intend on doing, I would most likely need to do it somewhere else. Also, the course selection is very limited. In hindsight, I should have realised before transferring. There are programs at all these other schools which would make them a much better fit for me.

On a slightly less important note, the student body is surprisingly homogenous. I realise that this may be due to the fact that not everyone is on campus, but it is still a small enough school for it to be relevant no matter the circumstance. There’s a variety of other things too, but for the sake of time, those are the main ones.

College hopping is one of the first things I thought about too, but it would still be relevant if I waited until the spring, right? Also, is college hopping synonymous with prestige chasing? If so, this may not be as relevant because (I think) there is no discernable difference in prestige between my school and all the schools on my list except maybe MIT.
