transfer - study abroad?

<p>I'm sorry, I didn't know which to post this one in....since I've posted on the other thread already, I decided on this one :-/</p>

<p>Well, I know I want to s.a. in college, and maybe twice. It seems like this is the only time in my life that I will be able to do so for the cost :)</p>

<p>Anyways, I'm probably attending a state uni. next year and they won't allow freshmen to study abroad. </p>

<p>I plan on transferring at the end of my sophomore year. [Or will it make more sense to transfer at the end of my freshmen year?]</p>

<p>Is it worth it to study abroad in the first/second semester of my sophomore year if I plan on transferring for my junior year?</p>

<p>Could I study abroad during my junior/senior year at the new school? Or would this be counterproductive since I'm still transitioning/ maybe needing to catch up on credits, etc. </p>

<p>Please, any answer would be nice :)</p>
