Be sure that you investigate this thoroughly before you make the leap. It could end up being very costly and time consuming for you.
I wouldn't necessarily agree- unless you've transferred, and then you'd know what it's like. I transferred halfway through my junior year. I had 78 credits, and they allowed for the transfer to take place as long as I had under 80 credits. That being said, they definitely didn't all transfer. I had to go an extra semester, plus take summer courses my first year at the new school. In the end, it was worth it, but there's still a lot to consider.
