<p>I'm a freshman studying Mechanical Engineering at George Washington University and I was originally very excited about living in Washington, DC. Inauguration weekend was amazing and I was also content with GW because I pretty much have a full ride here. However I don't know if I should stay. My classes don't seem to be too difficult but that might be because it's still my freshman year. I really enjoy DC and GW but should I look for a better school (I'm looking into Gtech)?</p>
<p>If you are pretty much satisfied why would you risk that for another school that might not be as enjoyable? Just something to think about...</p>
<p>GW is a decent university, you like DC (so far), and "I pretty much have a full ride here." </p>
<p>What, exactly, do you think you'd get at GTech that you can't get at GW? What would you give up? How much of this is just being a bit home-sick in the grey depths of the DC winter?</p>
<p>You shouldn't transfer unless you have very compelling, clear objectives that you cannot achieve at your current school.</p>
