help me. deciding between UCLA/UCSD (girlfriend's problem)

<p>Majoring in at Math&Econ,
Already got acceptance from UCSD,
just waiting for UCLA now..</p>

<p>I didn't think that I could get into UCLA until I saw the "financial summary" on URSA...</p>

<p>but the thing is, my girlfriend is living in SD< she will probably transfer to "SDSU" next year, and we were planning to move out together once I move to SD...
She is the kinda girl that you can live with... I mean more likely, we both passes the age of messing around... and all sees future of being with each other....</p>

<p>Then all the sudden, I see the financial summary..</p>

<p>I know go to a better univeristy is my #1 choice, especially for me major..</p>

<p>But I was shocked, and felt kinda upset if I couldn't go to SD to live with her...
(btw, now we r seeing each other, 1-2 times per week. even though driving around is not that hard... but ....still!~~)</p>

<p>any advices? please....</p>

<p>ask her to come nd live wid u…</p>

<p>this is when you realize whats more important…</p>

<p>You guys can live somewhere in southern OC and both of you can pick your classes so that you only go to school 2 days a week (but ALL day long). That way you have 3 days with no school (during the week) and your travel expenses won’t be too awful.</p>

<p>My advice is that you should take an English class and then revise your post.</p>

<p>With regards to your girlfriend, how long have you been together? At this age (I’m guessing you are about 20?) I would suggest you look out for number 1 (you) and go to the better school.</p>

<p>loopnic, yeah, if I decide to go to UCLA, then she will probably come to LA, but it’s kinda mess cuz she is in the middle of her comminity college, since she planned to transfer next fall.</p>

<p>well its upto u guys to wait or not… lifes always a ***** unless ur god…hope this thread is closed now</p>

<p>SP123, I know my english is not that great… but as an immigrant, I also deserves some respect…</p>

<p>it honestly depends on how serious you are. i have been with my bf since 8th grade (crazy i know) and we are going to live together. we made the choice of whichever school we both get into is where we are going. if i get into ucla and he doesn’t, we are going to be going to ucsd. he means enough to me and we are serious enough for me not to just give us up for ucla over ucsd. will it work out in the end? who knows, but at this point i am extremely happy and love him enough to risk it. i’m crossing my fingers for both of us getting into ucla, i think we both have a great shot :)</p>

<p>If she really cared about you she would not ask you to pass up a school like UCLA just to come live with her. San Diego is not that far away from here and if your relationship really has a shot at anything more then it should be stable enough to deal with you guys only seeing each other minimally at the moment. </p>

<p>People go without seeing each other for longer periods.</p>

<p>If you worked hard enough to get into UCLA and you are confident that you can do a good job there, go to UCLA. Someone who cares for you wouldn’t ask you to do anything less.</p>

<p>sweetnezz998… thanks for you advice, maybe our relationship is not that strong as you guys… 8th grade… … lmao…</p>

<p>I’m an immigrant too. I’ve only been living in this country for 2 years but alas I am able to speak eloquently and accurately. I think I showed you due respect and answered your question, I just think you need to work on your english before you post on this forum. You will definitely need to work on your english if you intend to write high quality essays at UCLA.</p>

<p>equinbeing… you right… and now she was like… she wants me to go to UCLA if I can get the admission offer, but you know. sometimes, life is awkward… you wanted sth, you gotta give up sth else… sigh…</p>

<p>ha i wasn’t trying to say that having a relationship less than that length is any less strong, in reality the past say 4 years have been the serious part, the first few years wasn’t really strong per say. with that, is she in community college or is she transfering to a university this year?</p>

<p>she is just in a community college right now, and is transferring next fall.</p>

<p>Tell her to transfer to SMC… its literally 15mins from UCLA.</p>

<p>sp123… but she is in the middle of her sections… besides if she is transferring to SMC, then she wouldn’t get the priority of register the classes there as well.</p>

<p>just have her transfer during summer, it’s not like you’re going to attend UCLA tomorrow if you get accepted…</p>

<p>I’m sorry socal1017 but this is pretty ■■■■■■■■.</p>

<p>You’re considering UCSD over UCLA so that she can have HER pick of community college? If anything, you should have your pick of UCLA and her transfer to SMC.</p>

<p>-She gets her pick of community college
-You don’t get your pick of University</p>

<p>This is stupid.</p>

<p>^^ 100% agree… if u wanna make such a commitment… hope UCLA rejects u so they can give your seat to some1 else who really wants to go there</p>
