Transferring because school too expensive, can I mention in Common App?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm seeking to transfer to another school after spending a year studying in one that was offering me partial scholarship but the rest that my family had to pay was still A LOT (I'm an international student). In the Common App essay for Transfer students, do you think it's okay to mention this fact because it was the main reason I left that school but I was wondering if that would be more damaging to mention and kind of turn off the admission people because it's about money. Please let me know if you have any idea. Thanks a lot.</p>
