Life is too short to waste.  U of Chicago has many excellent programs,
but if you know that you want to pursue a course of study not offered
there, then I suggest you transfer immediately.  Of course, if you are
interested in the biochemistry or molecular biology of marine organisms,
it might not be a bad idea to stay put and then do grad work in marine
biology.  If you don't forsee using your present major, then start going
after you really want elsewhere.
