<p>Honestly, it doesn’t sound like transferring would fix your problems. You’re going to have to study, regardless of which school you’re at. Suck it up and make sure you do your work, including studying and other “optional” things.</p>
<p>Just because you have friends who are doing well doesn’t mean the other school is easy. Maybe your friend just tests well, or maybe they knew the material beforehand, etc. Different people learn different ways. But their success means nothing in terms of how you would do at their school.</p>
<p>If you’re not sure where your time is going, maybe try writing it down? Go through your day, one activity at a time, and see what you spent the most time doing. That’s not to say you should be studying every hour of the day or should be able to account for every minute, but if you don’t know where your time goes, figure it out.</p>
