<p>I’m not a transfer student here, I started here as a First Year student out of HS, but I am very happy. I’m from NC and moved up north to CVL 
and I do understand what you mean about finding a Southern University.
I think you should transfer. You don’t sound happy, but you sound like you want to be, and could be>> in the right environment. Do it!!! Life is too short, and particularly college life, to be unhappy.
UVA will challenge you academically, but seeing how you are at JHU, you will probably be able to handle that challenge in a similar fashion to JHU. UVA though, is so much fun. Everyone, for the most part, studies very diligently; but, when it is time to party, this is one happy place!
Thumbs up! PM me if I can answer any more specific questions
