I'm going to be a sophomore in college. I wasn't very happy with my current school, so I decided to apply to transfer out and got into a top school, one which is a better fit academically and environmentally.

But I'm so conflicted. On one hand, I've got great friends at my current school and I'm on a scholarship that covers almost everything, so my parents can take it easy financially. However, the school doesn't feel right; the vast majority of students commute, so it's always dead. There's no school spirit, no football team, and a strong sense of apathy in just about everything non-school related. Most students here are either hard-core gamers or over 35 years old continuing their education. And, quite frankly, the academics feel a bit too easy for me (I know I only had a taste, but no class felt intellectually stimulating because the students weren't very curious), so I'm cruising and feel like my brain is lagging—my work ethic has regressed since high school because of this. The environment is very impersonal because it's a large state school. Furthermore, my current school's humanities department isn't very strong -- professors even confessed so themselves, and I want to study in the humanities.

1　I'm so conflictedは「矛盾しているように感じる」でしょうか？
2　a strong sense of apathy in just about everything non-school relatedの意味を教えてください
3　I'm cruisingはここではどのような意味でしょうか？
4　 my current school's humanities department isn't very strongとはどういうことでしょうか？

以上、よろしくお願いします

１．もっといい大学に移りたいという気持ちと，友人や奨学金を失いたくないという気持ちが，せめぎあっている。

２．いまいちよくわかりませんが，大学の活気がないというくだりを受けて，「学生たちは大学の外のことにばかり強い関心をいだいている」。

３．漫然と時間をすごしている。

４．いまの大学の文学部（人文学部）は，それほど勢力が強くない。いろいろな意味にとれますが，教育水準が低い，予算が少ない，有力な教員が少ない，優秀な学生が集まらないなど。
