<p>My girlfriend was salutatorian, I am number 4 class rank at our high school. We were both recently accepted into Boston university. We both really want to go there and stay close, do you have any thoughts?</p>
<p>Would you want to go to Boston University if she didn’t go? I think it’s a bad choice to follow somebody to college but if you’d like the school without her there’s no reason not to.</p>
<p>This shouldn’t be the deciding factor. If BU fits your major, climate, and cost limits, then by all means, go. But I wouldn’t pass up a similar-cost education at Harvard or Yale simply to be with my girlfriend (because face it, the majority of these relationships end after a while, and then what?). Then again, I’ve never had any. :P</p>
<p>My girlfriend of two years went to college this fall and I was still in high school. We loved each other and we definitely thought we could make it at least a year long distance. Nope, she cheated on me and we broke up in September. </p>
<p>DON’T FOLLOW YOUR GIRL OR YOUR GUY TO COLLEGE JUST BECAUSE OF THEM. Its a huge mistake most of the time.</p>
<p>Like previously stated,</p>
<p>If, absolutely independent of your sig other, you would attend BU - go to BU, but don’t go for the sole reason being your sig other.</p>
<p>Boston University only has Early Decision - wouldn’t your acceptance be binding either way? Unless there’s another circumstance here that I’m not aware of. But anyways, once I heard BU - I instantly thought “yes, YES go to BU!” but then I realized that not everyone is in love with BU like I am… lol. </p>
<p>But anywho, do not go to a school because of a person, whether it be a best friend, a girlfriend, or anyone else for that matter. BU is a very big school with no campus and a very specific vibe. If it doesn’t suit your needs or wants, you shouldn’t go, plain and simple. I know it sounds perfect now - the opportunity to attend a school with your bae - but trust me, many relationships don’t last and you’ll regret attending a school you don’t really like for someone who turned out to not be worth it.</p>
<p>Can you define how you recently got accepted to BU in a non-binding agreement, please? I’m not suggesting that you’re lying, I just didn’t know. I would’ve applied if it wasn’t binding 
BU is pricey.</p>
