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

<p>yeah way dumb now that i know the situation, she can go to any community college in california who cares which one.</p>

<p>hope they take away ur FA summary and give it to sweetnezz and her bf…</p>

<p>hahah you’re too cute :)</p>

<p>I’m kinda in the same boat. I applied to UCB, UCLA, Davis, etc. My girl is finishing up at SAC State - she’ll be done at the end of Fall 09. We’re already doing the long distance thing - Sac to Santa Rosa. But if I don’t get into Berkeley, I’m thinking Davis over UCLA. But, I also got family up here in Nor Cal too. I know UCLA is a better school, especially for an Econ major. But I just can’t see going all that distance - unless the FA is better. Either way, you need to do the same thing I’m planning on doing. When decisions come out, sit down and talk to her - discuss all the pros and cons and make your decision based on whats best for both of you, if its really that serious. In the long run, she needs to understand that you will both be better off by you going to UCLA over UCSD. But, like I said weigh all the options - with her.</p>

<p>^^^^ Yes I’m also in the same situation. I live with my bf in Berkeley, and if i don’t get in to Cal, I’m going to have to move to Socal…because I don’t want to go to Davis…and we don’t know if it’ll work out … :/</p>

<p>m ditching my girl here at Moopark once i get into UCLA… unless she ditches me before if she gets into UCSB</p>

<p>thank you guyz… I will talk to her as soon as the decisions come out.</p>

<p>UCSD isn’t any worse than UCLA. But maybe depending on your major. In general though, they are equivalent, with some programs at UCSD ranked higher than at UCLA. There isn’t really much difference between the two besides the environment I think.</p>

<p>Can you see yourself potentially marrying this girl? If not then don’t make one of your biggest decisions in life based upon it, although UCSD is right there with UCLA almost.</p>

<p>I agree with Tiberius</p>

<p>No offense dude, but I’m guessing you are what? 20? 21? You may be in love and she may “love” you…but people change, circumstances change, and sometimes you just have to be selfish and go and do the things you want to do. Don’t let your GF be the deciding factor. I’ve seen so many people mess up their plans because they want to stay with the girl or guy they are so “in love with”
If you can make it work great, but if it is more hassle than its worth…let go and see what else is out there in your life. If you two are meant to be then you are meant to be…don’t force things. </p>

<p>I speak from experience…totally not worth it. </p>

<p>But Goodluck!</p>

<p>A girl I worked with was in a similar situation as you. She went to school at CSUN and her bf went to SDSU. They spent two years spending the weekends with each other. He graduated two years ago, got a job in LA, and is planning to work there until she graduates and they can make plans to live together.</p>

<p>my point being they are still together…</p>
