Deciding if I want to transfer

Currently I attend the University of Akron as a freshman for mechanical engineering, but I have decided to maybe switch to Ohio University, University of Toledo, or maybe aim high for Ohio State.

I currently have a gpa of 3.19 and have more than 30 credit hours from post secondary classes from high school. I really want a school with a vast amount of research opportunities. If any person can give me a honest opinion, it will help. Thanks

Of the three you listed, Ohio State is probably the safest bet in terms of undergraduate research opportunities. Yet, make sure that you study each school equally so as to reach an informed decision about your best college choice.
