true, going from a smaller carib school to either AUC, Ross, or SGU is a move up, not down. If you have very good reasons to do so, do it. But I'm talking about transferring from just any ol' carib school to the next, which is often what people do. or they go from the big 3 to a lesser school, and it doesn't look as good than if you were moving up so to say. but one of the problems with attending a small caribbean school, and transferring up to one of the big 3, often you loose credits.

also, it won't improve your licensability one day. if you attended even one semester at a CA unapproved school, and then transfer to a big 3 school, you cannot get licensed in CA if those credits transferred over.
