<p>I am currently an Electrical Engineering student at McGill University and have been for 2 years. I have grown unhappy with the size of the classes (during my first year they reached the 300's and this year they have shrunk to mid 100's although I believe they will stay around the same level since I'm in my department now), the professors (for the most part... I don't feel that they are here for the students... they don't try to make the material interesting), the work (it's difficult, but that's not the problem... the problem is often times we aren't prepared correctly for our work in class), and the city/people (it's very liberal and I'm pretty conservative).
1)Are these good reasons to consider transferring?
2)Would transferring to a school that lacks ABET credit be a huge mistake?
-->any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Ah…well…you’re kind of in a rough situation. Most schools accept Junior transfers at the LATEST – as in you apply now for next year. Given that the deadlines have passed for many schools, there’s not much you can do. If you crank out a common application and supplement in the next 24 hours you can apply to Penn, but other than that I’d say your best bet is to take some summer courses and start focusing on graduate school.</p>
<p>I know a few CUNY and SUNY schools where the application isn’t due until Thursday, but what I really want to know is how much would leaving McGill and going to a lesser know University hurt my job prospects… one school I’ve looked at SUNYIT has started an Electrical and Computer Engineering program structured after SUNY Binghamton’s (which is a good school), but it isn’t yet ABET accredited and won’t be until 2 years after I graduate… they said they would grandfather me in, but that would mean I’d be out on the market for 2 years with a degree that isn’t accredited.<br>
How bad of an idea is this?</p>
<p>Here’s a positive link that I’ve found though:

<p>scratch that just SUNY, I sent in applications today</p>
