thinking about transferring

<p>i dont know if this is the right place to post this, but i figured i could use some feedback on my dilemma. </p>

<p>I'm currently a freshman enrolled in a state school (Rutgers) and i am considering a transfer after next semester (which would mean i would transfer after fall semester of my sophomore year). I went to a private high school and i think a smaller college environment at a school like American University might be a better fit for me. </p>

<p>Based on my academics I am almost positive i could get into AU but i am concerned about the financial matter. At my state school i pay less than 10,000 per year but at AU (after potential grants) i will probably end up owing around 25,000 a year. i am not miserable but not exactly happy at my current school. i have friends at AU and i am pretty sure id in fact like it more over there. i am however conflicted if this fact is worth the extra money and the debt i would have to get into though. </p>

<p>also does anyone have any idea if one of these university's business school is better than the other?</p>

<p>i appreciate any kind of help</p>
