It's also not a bad idea go to a decent public state school, where tuition can be $15,000, then you can transfer after 1-2 years. I did that after a year at SUNY Binghamton.

My diploma will still say NYU and that's $50,000 saved.

I transferred from a small private school to one of the biggest in the country. Going to the small school was great for me (at first), but I could not have handled that small environment for a full four years.

Transferring consisted of applying to the new school and waiting. After that is was cake. I think I had three meetings that I had to schedule (my advisor, financial aid, and the head of arts and sciences who wanted to talk to me about why I was leaving)

I'm much happier now, and if you're not happy at your school, there's no reason to stay there.

I've had a couple of friends who wanted to drop out, but instead transferred. They're happy and doing great at their new schools. So that's also something to keep in mind.
