Why don’t you try to pursue a History degree from your current university? Mightn’t it help you find satisfaction in your current college? Can you look at History classes offered in the Spring?
What about looking for a club where you do things together (like Habitat for Humanity or another volunteering group where you actually do something).
Humanities major really benefit from attending a “better” university because content is not “flat” (professors define what’s in their class and adapt it to the average students, unless you’re in the Honors program/college AND there are enough Honors classes, which there may not be at the advanced level) and learning rests as much on quality of discussion ie., peers as on professors and because much fewer students choose these “non vocational” majors, career services aren’t as well equiped to handle Humanities majors.
It also depends what the “branch” is - if it’s Southern Connecticut State v.Uconn, or Penn State Harrisburg v. Penn State or tOSu Lima v. tOSU… you’re better off at your flagship, by far.
