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

There are A LOT of advantages to being the big fish in a small(er) pond. For example, your excellent grades will look great for grad school applications. Or for various fellowship/grants available to undergrads. Or for research opportunities with your professors. Or for ‘skipping’ certain prerequisites and fast-tracking to grad courses while you’re still an undergrad… If you’re ahead academically, you could consider a semester abroad program to enrich your experience.

A whole other issue is if you’re feeling unfulfilled in your school… then you might give yourself another semester and consider transfering for your junior year. But it sounds like you actually LIKE where you’re at… whereas you’ve got no guarantee that you’ll be happy elsewhere. My advice, stay at your current school, and maximize your opportunities there.
