<p>We have been going out for year now and we love each other very much. I have always known she wants to go to community college about 2 hours from where we live now. I myself also want to go to that same community college because I want to transfer to CAL POLY, which is in the same town. I want to move out, meet new people, be with my friends who are also moving down there, be able to transfer easier to my dream school, in a college town, and being close to my girlfriend. My alternative is staying here and going to the local community college. I don't really like this town and all my friends will be gone next year away. I am just wondering what I should do??? Any advice helps!</p>
<p>It really really depends on where you see your future with her. If you see even the slightest possibility of breaking up during your time there, DONT DO IT. You might have made a huge change in your life for nothing. But around a year is where a relationship proves to be a good one so you clearly aren’t just a dumb lovestruck couple. Think about every single sliver sized factor, and then go for it.</p>
<p>No, that’s just pathetic.</p>
<p>Should you:</p>
<p>a) go to the community college that you’re girlfriend and you want to go as well as your friends. </p>
<p>or </p>
<p>b) go to the community college in your local town despite you wanting to move out of that town </p>
<p>Wow, hard choice you have there. Obviously go for a, it’s not like you’re giving up going to your desired college for you’re girlfriend you’re doing the opposite you’re contemplating not going to your desired college because of your girlfriend.</p>
<p>Pretend your girlfriend is nonexistant. Where would you go then? Whichever choice you would make without factoring her into the equation is the correct choice</p>
<p>
I dont think its that easy… I had to make a similar decision but with my twin brother and some of my best friends all going to a certain college and everyone kept telling me to take them out of the equation but you can’t. No matter what it affects the decision whether you like it or not.</p>
<p>
Why? It should be a factor to consider, as it would make his college experience more enjoyable. Obviously he shouldn’t go somewhere he otherwise hates, since they could easily break up, but it’s still something to consider.</p>
<p>I am just going to give you my personal feelings about it. I am going out with this girl it would be AWESOME if we went to the same college. HOWEVER that is not going to change the college I want to go to. So the only way we will end up going to the same college is if 1. I get rejected and go to the state school or 2. She applies and we both get in.</p>
<p>If you already want to go to the other school, which it sounds like you do, it’s just an added benefit that your girlfriend’s going there. What’s the downside to choosing the CC two hours away?</p>
<p>I suggest envisioning your future in 5, 10 years ahead. Does your education or your girlfriend stand out to you as more important?</p>
