UCSD, Purdue, or Penn State?

I’m currently a sophomore at UC San Diego but I really hate it here. My biggest problem is that there are no majors here I am actually interested in. I just recently switched declared it as Communications and I’ll probably be adding on a Business minor (UCSD doesn’t offer a Business major). I am thinking about transferring to either Purdue or Penn State and wanted to get some opinions about whether or not I should try to do it. I would be majoring in Hospitality Management at both those schools and they are top ranked programs. However, I have heard that getting a degree in Hospitality isn’t really worth it and I would be paying out of state. Plus, Purdue and Penn State are ranked lower overall than UCSD.

I do plan on pursuing a career in hotels but I’ve just heard that a degree in Hospitality isn’t the only way in. Any thoughts or insights?
