<p>Just stay at UCLA. You earned it. UCLA is a more prestigious school. Not saying UCSD is bad by any means, but UCLA has more recognition and it may open more doors for you in the future. Is it because your friends are at UCSD? I am assuming you are just 18 or 19 since you are going to be entering as a sophomore. You have 3 more years, 3 years normally goes faster than you think. I know it may feel like an eternity, but it really is not. And as others have pointed, by the time you can transfer, you will be a junior, you will be halfway finished. My 2 cents, is stick around. </p>
