As someone who transferred schools TWICE in her undergrad I can give you advice.
I did my first year of Fine Arts at York, second year I transferred to UWO and then third and fourth year UofC.

It is a lot of extra work and meetings and phone calls to get what you need to transfer, but if you are dilligent and don't let them push you around you can get the credits to transfer. I convinced my UofC advisor when I came here that a random 1 credit art course at York would definitely qualify for 2 courses at the UofC and they weren't even related at all. I simply had to get my old York prof to explain what the course was about and then I parallel it to the two UofC courses - the advisor really had no choice she had to give them both to me.

Basically, you can do it, its a lot of work but if you want to attend different universities its worth it. I had a great time in my undergrad in each university.
