Hello! How many of you have transferred between universities at some point? If you have, was it a good decision? Have you found that switching schools has made a big (positive or negative) impact on your academic life? I'm thinking about transferring from a big state school ranked ~60th in physics to a big state school ranked ~20 in physics that would probably have better research opportunities for me. Anyway, your advice is appreciated! Thanks.
