I transferred my Sophomore year of college and encountered exactly what you described. Freshmen year it seemed like all the students were wide-eyed and eager to meet new people. By Sophomore year all that had changed, much to the dismay of this new kid in town.

I've graduated since and -- I'm fortunate -- things worked out for the better. But if I had it to do over again I almost certainly wouldn't transfer.
