I'm fine at my college, but at the same time, I feel like there's not much left for me here. The only reason why I say I'm fine is because I'm free here in college, but once I go home, I'm trapped. Don't have my own car, have to be home by a certain time, and often having to deal with my parents yelling makes me want to get out.

Yes you get to get out and "explore" and "meet new people" and all that fancy crap, but I'd rather be annoyed as hell around family than take on a lot of student debt for nothing but a group of friends you'll lose when you leave.
Good point. I'm not sure if the learning is better or worse, but as far as I can tell, a degree is a degree regardless of where you get it (well....excluding Ivy Leagues and such).
And that's also why I'm still living at home instead of somewhere else. It's free(ish). I don't have any student loans and I'm happy about that. Unless something interests me (say, going to Japan) and it causes me to have loans, I'd willingly do it.
But I don't see any other incentive in transferring at the moment. The last thing I need is to lose friends when/if I leave.
