Food and social activities are not good reasons for transfer. Academic reasons, on the other hand, are compelling. However your descriptions of the academic shortcomings would highly depend upon professor style. You’re bound to find much of the same academic teaching styles at virtually every college.
Some valid academic reasons for transfer: change in major that is not offered at current college, maxed out current curriculum, combined bachelors/masters program, etc. The selectivity at these colleges for transfer is even higher than for freshman applicants.
Do you need financial aid? That will be a big factor as well? They generally don’t give as great financial aid packages for transfers.
