Hi, Andrew,
After reading all of this thread, I recommend transferring to UCLA, if that is where you believe that you would do better. Hostile environments can drain you.
When you are requesting your transfer it might be useful to the school you're leaving to know why you're leaving, and I would spare no details, everything on the table.
Slavic languages are not offered in many schools and might be useful in some of the former Soviet republics.
Please keep us posted with your progress.
Bidding you well,
Wing Walker
