Should you transfer schools if it's too "easy"?

Thank you for all the replies. It’s very encouraging because I really do want to stay here.

I talked to some friends of mine who are in the Honors College, and they said that all the Honors classes here are substitutes for their gen ed courses, and I’ve unfortunately already covered most of them. I’m taking two more in the fall and will be done. (I’m lucky that requirements for my majors can double count)

However, I will check to see if they’ll allow me to take one even if I don’t need it. Or maybe I can audit it? I’m not really sure how that works, but I’ve heard that some people do it.

Also, would maybe taking an overload help keep me feeling “busy?” If I take, say, 20 credits instead of 16 with the extra class being something challenging and perhaps outside my major, would that be good or would it burn me out?

I guess I just feel guilty that I don’t have to spend as much time on my studies, and I wonder if a harder curriculum or harder classes would help. I also work between 10-20 hours during school, but I could adjust that with a harder schedule if necessary.
