Transfer Chances for State School Student?

Very true, perfect36, but if I take many more classes I won’t be eligible for transfer. I entered as an academic sophomore, so I won’t be able to transfer schools after this year unless I can get rid of some of my AP hours.

It’s not just the academics here (and I do realize that classes will probably get harder). I just don’t feel like I fit in very well. This is a decent school and I’m not completely depressed or anything - I have friends and am involved - I just feel like I might fit in better somewhere that has generally more academically-driven/intellectual students. I know there are people like that here (that’s mostly who I’m friends with), but the vast majority of people I have classes with don’t care to participate in discussion or hold intellectual conversation. The plus of going to a school as large as I do now is that there is a lot of diversity…I just haven’t been able to fit in anywhere. I see myself as a better fit somewhere that’s more urban and passionate (if that’s the right word) about academics. I can (and do) appreciate a good game of football, but I feel like there’s too much of an emphasis on athletics over academics here for me.
