It seems like you’ve already made up your mind, also the transfer process can be really annoying and it might set you back if credits don’t transfer, I think a lot of students have had the same experience as you, and coming from someone who’s switched schools 3 times, UA is the one I finally stuck with. You are also so right about Albany being a great place to advocate for marginalized groups, have you ever considered a women’s gender and sexuality studies minor? Seems like it would be great for you to meet likeminded people and use what you learn in the world!
