<p>Ok…so will your fiancee be going to the same school as you? If not…What’s the greatest distance away from your fiancee that you’ll feel comfortable with?</p>
<p>She might not be going to the same school as me, but I’d prefer to be in the same city or very close. She helps me deal with my anxiety and my social problems, so I need her close.</p>
<p>Then the strategy you need is to consider what both of you will major in, what you each can afford, and then find schools that will either fit both of you …or are located in the same area.</p>
<p>So, what will she major in and what can each of you afford?</p>
<p>She will major in psychology. Neither of us can afford much, but we’re both trying to get scholarships.</p>
<p>Have you looked in to the 5 college consortium at Amherst (Amherst,Hampshire, Smith, Mt Holyoke and U Mass Amherst). They are all very close to ecah other, you can cross register classes, and the schools ar very liberal minded.</p>
<p>Does your fiancee have high stats?</p>
<p>To deeedo: take a look at the University of Cincinnati. I don’t agree with warblersrule86 first statement (“Cincinnati is less well-rounded…”) but definitely concur with the end of it (“…but also has a superb geology program.”) Cincinnati’s paleontology program is ranked 7th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. The other good thing is that Geology is a small department, which sounds like it would be a good thing for you, given your Asperger’s. Cincinnati also has an excellent Disability Services; talk to Mike there. And if you want to know about UC’s Department of Biological Sciences, take a look at this trip to the Galapagos Islands that their students just went on: [WATCH:</a> University Honors Trip Launches ‘Citizen Science’ Project to Preserve a Paradise](<a href=“Error | University of Cincinnati”>http://www.uc.edu/news/NR.aspx?id=11516). The Geology Department is truly superb, but the Department of Biological Sciences at UC is also fantastic. </p>
<p>Yes, I’m an alum. My geology degree is from Virginia Tech, but my next two degrees (including a master’s degree in English with a certificate in professional writing) came from UC.</p>
<p>This is one of the singular oddest threads I have ever read on CC.</p>
<p>OP, you should consider state schools that both you and your fiancee will get into. It’s harder to stay together if you’re on different campuses, simply because college becomes sort of a bubble all on its own. Consider her stats when you’re applying, and GL!</p>
