I go to music school and I just wanted to say that I along with all of my friends agree that the first semester SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS and then gets much better. I usually think people should stay a year before transferring because the people who transfer sooner usually regret it. But that's just my experience.

[EDIT] I should add that I go to a conservatory so it is very small and I don't have to deal with a larger university. My school has been very VERY accommodating but that might just be because we have under 1000 students and that the non music courses are very light.
