Should I stay or should I go?

Transfer Students

<p>Hi, I am a sophomore at a top 25 ranked liberal arts school. I don' have much going for me here except for my amazing girlfriend whom I love dearly. I have the oppurtunity to transfer to the Ivy League school of my dreams, the school Ive wanted to go to ever since I was a little kid, but I'm not sure if I should.
If it wasn't for my girlfriend, I wouldnt really like my current school. However, my girlfriend may just be the one(Is that something I can truly know after only a year?). I know if I stay here and we eventually break up, I'll always regret that I didnt transfer when I had the chance. The Ivy seems so much larger, much exciting, and full of opportunities. However, if I transfer, we'll likely breakup and I'll always be left thinking what if I hadn't left her. </p>

<p>How do I handle this situation? What would you do?</p>

<p>I would transfer, but this is really something you have to figure out for yourself. I was always taught not to go to a school just because your boyfriend/girlfriend goes there. You won’t be happy. But there is always exceptions. We don’t know your situation completely. I would way the pros and cons carefully and then talk it over with your girlfriend. Tell her your situation, maybe she’ll be very understanding.</p>

<p>Why not worry about it after you’re accepted?</p>
