Transfer to northeastern or stay at umd?

I am currently a freshman at the University of Maryland College Park in the Smith School of Business. I don't feel like I am happy here and have not had the social experiences I expected going to a large state school. I have the option to transfer to Northeastern, which is about 40 min from my home in Southern Massachusetts. Money is not an issue here and at either school I would remain a business major. I am weighing the pros and cons of staying at Maryland or transferring to Northeastern. My only hesitation of leaving Maryland are the opportunities the Smith School has (I studied abroad winter term as a freshman) and leaving an actual campus but I absolutely love the coop program and Boston is home for me. The only other thing that would hold me back is studying abroad. At Maryland it would be easy for me to do since it is already planned out while at Northeastern they do not have a program to go to the UK for business majors but do have another program that I am unsure if I would be able to do. What should I do and which school would I be better off at? I am also considering law school so that could be a factor but I was considering Northeastern Law.
