Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hey everyone–I was hoping to get a little advice from anyone who knew anything about Barnard College/UCSC/College in general.
It’s my freshman year at UCSC in Stevenson College, and I can’t say that I hate it, but I definitely don’t feel in my element here. I find the the laid-back, “chill” atmosphere extremely frustrating. Everyone is totally accepting, and that’s great, but I can’t say it’s the most engaging environment. People know almost nothing about current events, and care little about anything else except smoking a bowl and “chilling”.
I may sound bitter, but that has been my experience so far. There’ have been some wonderful exceptions, but so far that’s the majority of it.
I was thinking of transferring to Barnard, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Some say it’s too well-to-do, snooty, overly-competitive, etc. Then some say it’s very diverse, that the learning environment is great, and everyone is fairly relaxed with one another.
I want a small college–small class sizes, engaged, rigorous, and diverse. The city life is important as well.
Does Barnard fit this category? Any colleges in the East Coast you guys would recommend? Or, should I give UCSC a chance?
