What are the cons of transferring?

<p>I’m about to begin my freshman year in college. I’m thinking about possible taking a full-ride to a school that’s 5 minutes away from me(FIU), and then transferring over to my #1 school (FSU) after 2 years. </p>

<p>I’m not very educated about transferring, but I’ve heard from others that it’s a hassle because credits don’t transfer over, transfers get almost no financial aid, etc…</p>

<p>Is it really that bad? I’m considering just staying at FIU and not transferring over to my #1 choice.</p>
