Switch from Environmental Engineering to Chemical Engineering at CSULB?

Okay, so I want to make up my mind before my semester starts this August, but I am currently a Pre-Environmental Engineering undergrad going into my sophomore year. I'm still taking many of the core classes, as you can imagine, but I've been having a dilemma about switching to ChemE. For one, EnvE isn't accredited at CSULB at the moment, but apparently it is on the path to being accredited. More importantly, I'm also interested in the area of renewable energies and sustainable energies like biofuels or hydrogen fuel cells, but I also like the field of water and being in the lab for that as well. Additionally, I'm interested in research in these areas. My school offers a minor in EnvE, which I would take if I were to switch to ChemE, but I'm undecided because I would probably graduate a bit later than expected, and because ChemE is significantly harder than EnvE, and I don't want to regret this significant choice. I'd like to hear from people who may be in the industry or have had a similar experience as I have, so I can make the best possible choice before my semester starts.

Keep cutting or Reverse Diet

So im a 19 yr old Male with about 3 years of gym experience. I started off being 250lb but I managed to lose about 80 pounds and get to 170ish. My first year or so was a bit rough and I didn’t really knkw what I was doing so I just got skinny fat , but around my 2nd year until now I’ve build a decent amount of muscle to where you can tell I can workout , but I don’t look the best with my shirt off and I really want to just look lean enough where I can see my abs and have great definition all around without looking flabby. I’ve been trying to cut since March but I haven’t lost the weight on the scale but I do feel that my pants feel looser and I have more definition In some places . The only thing that hasn’t gone is my belly fat and it’s really making me upset because I try to be consistent with my workouts and steps and dieting however it just won’t go away and the scale keeps stalling , and I feel like at times that maybe I need more muscle so I can look better leaner . Anyways I’ll share the photos and I hope someone who’s gone through this aswell can give me some good advice on whether I should just reverse diet my way into building more muscles of stick the cut out until I get to the leanness I want

Transfer from CSULB to Cal Poly SLO for Environmental Engineering?

I'm an upcoming sophomore at CSULB majoring in Environmental Engineering. As a senior in HS, I got into Cal Poly SLO, but I didn't commit because they didn't offer full financial aid, and I was afraid to take on loans for school. However, now as a 2nd year student, I've realized the prestige of Cal Poly SLO, and so I regret not taking the opportunity when I had it.

Being at Long Beach, the program is fairly new, about 5 years old, and it isn't accredited. Comparing the labs offered at Cal Poly SLO vs LB, I've realized Cal Poly has more opportunities than LB, so I've been debating on transferring. However, I need to take 3 extra classes just to qualify, which are General Chemistry 2, Linear Algebra, and Modern Physics, which aren't already on my degree planner at CSULB. Another thing is, of course, the cost of living since I live in Orange County. Anyways, I'm debating this decision if it's even worth it since I'm already at LB and transferring will be a whole process, but I wanted to hear the opinions of those who've gone to SLO or are at SLO to see if it is worth the effort to transfer over.
