is unlv or unr better for a plan to ultimately transfer to an academically higher-ranked institution, maybe something like usc, umiami, smu, uga, nyu, fordham, or tulane?

hi guys! im in a messy situation with my housing—

im going into my first year at unr, but i was too late on dorm selection and now am forced to go random with both a hall and a roommate. i thought about just getting an off-campus apartment since i do have some sophomore friends at unr who i could hang with, but i also did want the freshman experience and be able to make friends on my own.

along with this, an IMPORTANT aspect is that i want to have the ability to transfer to unlv if i dont like it (literally all my sophomore friends had this urge at one point so i just need to be prepared/not locked in to a place).

so my question is:
would u guys suggest i just go random on the dorm & deal with it, but have the ability to transfer after one semester if needed, or get the apartment and risk being stuck if i dont like the school, along with not having a “proper” freshman experience? thank you!!!
