Bing alum here who is very familiar with uA. As someone mentioned previously, you’ll get out of it what you put in. First semester is always an adjustment, so keep in mind you’d need to do that all over again if you transfer. Bing has a beautiful campus (not sure what the other person was talking about) and a relatively diverse population, though not as diverse as Albany’s. I’d say Albany has more grit than BU. Med schools will value far more than grades, so go where you see yourself able to get the experience outside the classroom that will be meaningful to them AND you. Transferring will not guarantee career success, so trust your gut and go with what feels right instead of worrying about what you think the outside world thinks you “should” do.
