What's it like to transfer college? Seriously considering it after two years but I don't want to take any longer for my degree than the 4 years I already planned.
Also switching from a top 10 Canadian university to an American university in the mid 150's in rank, is it a mistake? I really hate this place but I don't want to disappoint my parents
It's completely unexciting. You stop going to one college and start going to another.
If you're going from a supposedly 'good' college to a supposedly 'not as good' college or vice-versa, in all likelihood you'll quickly realize there's very little if any difference in the quality of teaching.
I mean, it is possible to move and find yourself in paradise but if you're at a top ranked school there are probably all the amenities already.
Visit places you think you want to move to for a week and go about as if you lived there. It'll help prevent moving into the same situation.

yeah it would be to move back close to home, in a different environment totally. I'm not concerned with the place it would be, just worried about doing an extra year for a worse degree or something

If I were you I'd stay on Canada and finish school with a major in baby seal clubbing and a minor in maple syruping. The job market for an American College victim major doesn't look to good.

Mistake to move. Either finish what you started, or make a decision and give it up for something different. Don't just do the same shit in a different place and expect a better outcome.
I made the jump from small town community college to a real university. I finally understand what people mean about the sudden increase in difficulty. Everything before this was almost too easy. Now I feel like I'm up shit creek.
The main reason I moved was to get the fuck out of my old town and so far that part has been quite enjoyable. The people here are different and I feel less hopeless than I did. Other than potentially failing a couple of classes I don't regret the move.
