Willamette is stronger academically than URedlands and offers more opportunities for your major.
Beware that transfers don’t really get financial aid beside the federal loans and, sometimes, the scraps leftover from the freshmen in terms of grants. (Merit may not even be available and, when it is, it typically is half what is offfered freshmen, at best.)
If the schools seem too small to you, investigate the possibility to study “away” (in an American city, for instance the DC semester) for one semester and to study abroad for one semester for your chosen major (ie., any program linking political science and language study in another country, for instance?) If you spend Spring sophomore year plus one semester junior year away from campus, senior year will come very fast, especially with job hunting etc.
