I'm at Assumption College and I'm not a fan of the direction the school is going in. I'm a freshman. And I've also noticed the school is lacking in many areas. An auditorium is one. And I know it's a Catholic school, but it's becoming oppressively religious. The administration banned an Iraqi war veteran who was supposed to speak at the school on Veteran's Day (and was scheduled to speak last year) because he's gay.
Anyway, I'm thinking of:
merrimack college
suffolk university
holy cross
stonehill college
umass lowell

If a college is not right for you, switching is usually a better option than staying. This is unless, of course, it's too late in the 4 years, but you don't have to worry about that.
Before switching, make sure that you like the school you're switching to. Schedule campus visits to the others schools and talk to professors and students at the school to get a feel for its environment and curriculum.
Also, very important, make sure that any credits that you've already taken and that you'll need in order to graduate transfer to the new university.

You said nothing about your major/chosen field of endeavor !
This should be the primary concern if the new school offers a better program then by all means make the change !
What is the reputation of the 2 schools in your major ?
Did you enroll to get an education or to play poitics ? I think that your choice should be to get the education first then you can play the politics better and with more enthousiasm as college graduate !
Graduating from a Catholic college myself in '65, I have often wished that I had made some other choice of colleges back then ! The Catholic education did form me into the person I became which did not fit exactly that designed by that faculty nor the one I had thought I wanted, somewhere in between.
It was not perfect but what the hell it worked !

If you are thinking that the faculty is limiting the education you are getting,that the facilities are not up to par, and the teachings are discriminatory, it is your choice to stay or leave. From what I can gather, you are Catholic. Will other Catholic schools have the same reaction to a veteran's day speaker?
