I transfered. Twice actually. All my credits came with me both times (though I know that it's not always the case), and it was the best decision I ever made. I HATED the school I started at. I transfered back to NJ for a year to regroup and see where things went from there. I don't think I ever really wanted to stay in NJ, but it was close and it was cheap. From there, I transfered to a school in Canada, where I had never been before I took the tour of Bishop's. That was my home, and I knew it from the second I set foot on the campus for the tour. I ended up with an extra year, but only because the program at Bishop's was a lot more demanding than at either of my other schools -- which is what I wanted. I had to take more classes that were specifically in my major... which sure beat what I had had before.

Follow your heart. Do what you think is going to make you happy. Don't listen when people try to write it off as a phase if you know in your heart that it's what you want to do.
