If your current school is no longer offering what you wish to study or is no longer a good fit, then it is definitely worth looking into a transfer. Borrowing the Fed limit to attend your state flagship is not unusual or harmful. A degree from any state flagship is recognized nationally and is worth the cost. The question to you is can you still attend only taking out $6,500 your sophomore year? Not sure if you mentioned if your in state or an out of state student. That of course changes the cost profile considerably.

I am not sure how they would view your HS grades. I think it is basically your college GPA that gets the most weight for a transfer. Maybe others can weigh in on that. If your still in the honors college at CCU then you should be ok. Transfer stats do not count on most school rankings so they might be more apt to accept a student with a slightly lesser GPA than they would normally accepts for first years.

Good luck.
