Hmm. This was also my problem when I was in freshman.
I was suppose to transfer a college but not school. But, it turns out that I can't change my course because they ran out of slots.
The problem that you will be facing is the slots of the course. Some Universities will stick to the upcoming students rather than the ones who are changing courses. Second is the time, you will be delayed in years, it depends on the course. Third one is if you think it is good for you, are you changing because you like the course that you want than what you have in the present. And partially, for me, the people who you will be leaving, if you value your friends, it would be another problem.
For me, I changed school because I did not have a slot in the course in the university, Well, it is nice that I am already enrolled to my favorite course, but a huge sacrifice was made and I lost the person I cared for when I changed school. Well. that is basically it.

well that kind of school kinda suck, it was a nice decision to transfer because that kind of school is likely to be very overpopulated? am i corect? well i just stick now on a school that has maybe less average of the population of its college students. because it makes the enrolling easy and not to wait for many hours to get enroll in my school. hahahaha, well also i feel your pain of lossing some of your friends because none of my friends enrolled my this school because they think that it was a shity place LOL. well in a few months i learned to move on and focus on my studies to achieve my goals.

I have done the samething especially with my math courses. Guess what, now they are the only courses I need to finish all my prereq's and get ready for the nursing program. I am older now also and math was never my strong subject....its hard. Plus, if you keep switching courses, it will show on your records drop/add class and withdrawals and places may frown upon that.
Then trying to get into a class that you really do want, it may not be available then the classes you really do need may not be available and will delay your studies and program. Then to fill in those blanks you may take courses that don't even pertain to your prereqs or program and may not be credited. I will really think twice and make sure you found the program/degree you really want and work towards that goal.

For one, it can cause a delay in your studies. Shifting a course can set you back bya year or two. Second, some subjects have the possibility of not being credited to the new course you want. Thirdly, if a student keeps shifting, there's a possibility that they won't actually finish the course, thus their degree. 
The good thing though, is that if you really like the course you will be shifting too, then you can fulfill your dreams..
Wherever you are happy, follow your heart.
