Thinking of Transferring to Penn State

<p>I am currently at Marist College and, contrary to gleaming, positive reviews, I absolutely hate it here.
Ultimately, the 2 chief reasons as to why I don't like it here is because it's very much like high school and I feel like I can be better challenged somewhere else. Socially, I have not made a lot of friends, despite my down-to-earth, friendly nature. </p>

<p>Over the past couple of weeks, I have read information/reviews on Penn State and I am very much interested, but I am afraid that transferring to a much larger school is a huge risk not worth taking. Academically, I fit the criteria and should've applied during my senior year (but didn't because I was so narrowly focused on Marist.) </p>

<p>Can anyone (preferably transfer students) offer some advice on the process/making friends/etc? I would appreciate your input :)</p>
