I would encourage the OP to visit the campuses and make judgements for themselves as to the culture at each school. For the most part there’s been excellent advice, especially about identifying first what their not happy with, as well as meeting with someone at each school to find out just what classes would transfer. The point that sophomore year is often much more ‘comfortable’ is also very valid.

I would encourage adult cc members to refrain from making sweeping generalizations about schools you haven’t attended or had a child attend. People are perfectly capable of researching fit on their own and deciding what they’re comfortable with. What is completely offsetting to one may be someone else’s ‘fit’. Different strokes.

Best of luck to the OP.
