I am currently a second semester Junior Physics Major considering transfering to another school. Compared to other students in my current instituition, I am not excited about this school and I am very non-chalant about it. The social life is lacking, with it small peaks here and there. I been considering transfering since Sophomore year. I recently got accepted in a school I applied to for this spring semester and to my surprise I am having trouble deciding wether to leave or stay. Here are my reasons for leaving or staying
Leaving
1) I currently have an overall GPA of 3.3. I want to have a fresh start academically (GPA reset). I will put know every effort it needs.
2) I am looking to have a new experience in the new school, meet different people and do different things
3) This may not be a good reason but the school is visually attractive.
4) It was be less financially stressful on my parents.
Reason for Staying
1) The faculty here is supportive and there is are two particular classes for my major offered in this current school that I am really interested in taking this semester.
2) I have a job in Supermarket which is a. 4 minute walk from my dorm and pays well.
3) If I do transfer I'll end up staying an extra year becuase I am missing two requirements in the new school. INSTEAD OF Graduating Spring 2017 I'll be graduating Spring 2018 if I do transfer.
4) I fear it will be the same experience in the new school since either coming in as a transfer and I won't have time to get the "college experience". By that I do not mean parties. I mean the way a school makes you feel and how you feel about that school.
My question might be vague but any advice or a shove toward the right direction will be greatly appreciated. I've given it thought and I haven't arrived anywhere with it.
P.S: I am considering transfering From Baldwin Wallace University to Binghamton University.
Some part of me wants to transfer, some part of me wants to stay and some part of me wants to graduate on time.
Edit: Also if I do consider transfering I was thinking beginning in the fall since I'll have to spend an extra year anyway. (I was considering deferring my application)
Also if I should stay, give me advice on how I should approach things.
My apologies if my questions are too vague
