Fordham Gabelli LC vs. Penn State Smeal vs. IU Kelley

Currently a HS senior who got obliterated throughout the application process, but got BU guaranteed transfer. For my first year of college, I'm thinking to go to Fordham LC because it's in the middle of Manhattan so I would actually have things to do and be where I want to be. Then I'm going to try to transfer higher and have BU as a backup. However, I have heard good things about both the workshop and NLF. Am I making a mistake by going to Fordham if I'm planning to transfer anyways?
