I think that your reasons for transfer, as you have presented them here, are solid. However, the need for financial aid is limiting.

Also, it is possible that your unhappiness is coloring your views and your choices.

You’ve chosen to major in Anthropology and take Chinese - neither of which your school offers. How did you come to those choices and what, if any, other possibilities did you consider close contenders for your major?

Many people leaving on weekends is another solid reason to choose a campus where that isn’t the norm. But, what are your options for overcoming that? Have you joined any organizations that keep people around on the weekends - either because the events occur then or the people are so involved that they choose to stay around?

The way you have presented it the big state U seems the only viable option. I would suggest you apply there, so that you will have that as an option. Then, you can think about whether there are steps you can take to make the current campus work better for you.

I’m unclear why you think your credits wouldn’t transfer - esp. from what sounds like one state school to another. What courses have you taken?
