@badgolfer While I agree with everything that you said, I believe OP is more concerned about living on campus - being immersed in the college environment at all times is overwhelming to them - and they would like to attend a commuter school because it seems more laid back. With that said,

@rmartina CS/CSE will be demanding at any school that you go to. It may be hard now, but you’ll acclimate - and a CSE degree from UCLA is quite the feat. Regarding living on the dorms, realize that you don’t have to - there are off-campus options that you may find more attractive. I agree with badgolfer, though; you should talk to a career counselor. I don’t think transferring to UCI will solve all of the problems that you expect it to.

Also, many second or third years don’t live in the dorms (well, at least at Berkeley, but I know that the dorms aren’t the ONLY option for UCLA students). Look into living somewhere else next year. Perhaps you would prefer a single bedroom.
