I'd really like to advise you to finish up at your university. When you transfer schools, not all of your credits will transfer, lengthening your stay in college and increasing the COSTS of college.
I think at some point we all entertain thoughts of leaving our university. It's normal. You want to be somewhere else.
But remember--you can move around the world once you graduate. Stick it out-- maybe get a part-time journalism internship or get involved with a new club on campus to occpy your time and meet new people.
If your heart is set on transferring, DO VISIT the schools first and talk to your current academic adviser about transferring. If you plan to affiliate with an ADPi chapter, check to make sure there is an ADPi chapter at your new school (remember, it is not a guarantee that you may affiliate at the new chapter, nor do you HAVE to affiliate).
Your experience is going to determine your career path. Even if the j-program at your school may not be superior to -say- UNC-Chapel Hill, it is your outside experience (school newspaper writing and internships) that will make or break you in the real world. Your degree is a meaningless piece of paper if you don't have legitimate clips and contacts to back it up when you go out for your first job.
