Does it matter if you go to a smaller campus of the same University?

I am stuck deciding if I should transfer from the Main campus of my University to a Smaller campus that belongs to the SAME University. The smaller campus has less people per class and the professor are a lot more helpful... It's almost like a community college but named a university. My question is will med schools look down upon transferring to a different campus when it is known that that campus will have smaller classes and will ultimately be easier..will they think I am trying to get the easy way out? I need to register for classes asap and speedy reply would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
 
Nope doesnt matter at all. On your records and degree, it wont say you only attended a smaller campus.

Not sure what you mean by smaller campus. Is it like a system of campuses like the University of California (UCLA, UCSF UCD etc.) or something else?

IIRC, schools like Ohio State have several satellite campuses spread all throughout the state. I thought the OP was referring to something along the lines of that.
 
No, it shouldn't matter. Still part of the same university with the same transcripts, programs (and prestige, etc if you're into that. :laugh:).

I actually don't mean a system of campuses but rather like someone else mentioned satellite campuses where it's the exact same university just located at a different venue then the main campus is.

Thanks for everyone else who answered. Very much appreciated.
