Weird situation—moving back to old school?

Ok, so my situation is really weird so please do not judge too harshly, I’m in a tough spot and have no idea what to do.

So, long story short I attended school A my freshman year, which was 2 years ago. Didn’t have the best experience there, but I met my current boyfriend and we have been together ever since (about 2 years). I left that school after a year because I had a bad experience there, and my boyfriend and I moved in together (way too soon) and moved around a little bit while taking a year off of school.

This past fall semester, I was broke with no direction in life, so I moved back home without my boyfriend and attended my local CC. Like many people who were out on their own and then moved back home, I was absolutely miserable. I had few friends, was doing long distance, and hated my CC. SO, my boyfriend convinced me it would be a good idea for me to go back to school A, where he is currently going, and give it another try. I had no other choices at the time, so I did it, being incredibly unsure of the choice.

I have only been back at school A (moved in early, classes don’t start till the 14th) for a few days, but I am already so incredibly unsure about being back here. My boyfriend has a life established and his family lives in town, but I am so nervous that being back here will bring up the same problems I had in the past. Classes start in 10 days and I don’t want to feel like I’m stuck again, but I also just want to finish my education and be done with school.

So I guess my question is…should I stick it out or leave before classes start? BF said he is not willing to do long distance again and I am honestly so unsure of who to talk to about all this. Thanks so much in advance.

Too difficult to offer a specific response without more details. My impression based on the limited information shared is that you are just repeating a bad situation.

That’s basically what it feels like——I guess basically what happened the last time I was here was I got too wrapped up in partying and working too much and not focusing on school. It’s a small town with nothing to do and I am not a small town person. It’s just a cheap place to finish my education which is why I decided to come back. But thinking about it now, it just feels like I’m moving back for my boyfriend because this is the right school for him right now. And that I’m not doing it for myself. So it’s just a tough spot to be in.

If you break up with this boyfriend, would you be able to finish your studies at A and get on with your life after graduation? That is the question you need to ask yourself.

If you truly dislike A, and would be better off completing your degree elsewhere, then that is what you should do.
