Transferring from RPI to UB

Transfer Students
1

I completed my first year as an Electrical Engineering major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute last year and didn’t really enjoy it. I feel like I didn’t really fit in with many students and disagreed with many of the decisions that the administration made during the year. I just wasn’t very happy there, but I don’t know if that was largely because of the pandemic or not. I applied to several schools to transfer to and I have narrowed it down to staying at RPI or transferring to the University at Buffalo. I toured Buffalo’s campus and liked it a lot more than RPI’s and Buffalo would be about $20,000 cheaper per year. My only concern is that I would be leaving a better education and better career opportunities after graduating if I transferred from RPI. If anyone would be able to give me any advice on this topic it would be much appreciated.
