Is this a good reason for transferring college?

<p>Im a freshman at UW, who went in thinking I might do something in science or art. Well I ended up deciding to go the art route, and am now looking up other art/design schools. So my only reason for transferring would be that I want to go to a school that has a decent art/design program. As far as I know, I believe the UW art department is mediocre at best (I'm not quite sure - I just cant seem to find a lot of information on it). </p>

<p>As a note, I love Washington - and thats probably an understatement. I'm a relatively quiet/calm person so the feel of where I live really fits my personality. I'm in love with the outdoors, so the fact that I can pitch my tent up a couple hours drive from here and enjoy nature is pretty neat. My family is here, my friends from high school are all here at UW, and I'm getting in-state tuition, so I dont have to worry about not having enough money to pay for school. </p>

<p>OR, my alternate plan was to finish my undergrad here at UW, and go to a decent design grad school. </p>

<p>any thoughts? input?</p>

<p>I'd go with the alternate plan--stay at UW for undergrad, you obviously enjoy it. Go to art school later on!</p>

<p>Yes, it is a good reason for transferring. But it does sound like you like where you are quite a bit. So, I would suggest you post your question on the Arts Forum here on cc. I think you might get more informed ideas there.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
