College

Okay, so this weekend i was sent a brochure in the mail about a 4 year university. I had heard about this college before and my counsler last year even mentioned it to me because they had a great program for my subject of interest. As i started looking through the brochure i was somewhat pleased that it was farely small in size with about 25 students to a classroom and it was about 2 hours away from home. They have had a lot of great alumini and everyone interviewed had lots of good things to say about it that other colleges might not offer me. They had tons of majors and minors, athletics, room and board was a big category.

The buildings around campus looked very historic and pretty. The campus was farely large but you could walk everywhere. I really want to go to a 4 year university, but i have been hesitant to because i would have to move away from where i live to go to college in a different town, when my boyfriend of almost two years lives in the town i am in now at a different university. I told him about me thinking about this college and he said he would look into it to because when i graduate he'll be done with his second year in college and he could transfer. He told me that hes actually been thinking about transfering because he doesn't really like the college he is at now and hes even thinking about changing his major.

I'm pretty excited about all the news. We're going to go visit the campus pretty soon and check out what it has to offer. Hopefully it will be the right choice.

I think the idea of going to college away from home is enough to make anyone anxious. I'm a bit nervous myself, as I'll be about 10 hours away from home. I'm glad that you've found a place which suits you, and it should make it easier to have your boyfriend there. :)

It might be a bad idea for him to move somewhere and go to a college just because you're there. Sometimes, relationships don't last as long as you think they will, and then he'll be somewhere he might not even like just for you. Be careful with that, and let him know that you'll still try to make it work if he doesn't transfer. Plenty of relationships have worked with such a short distance separating people.

I have no doubt it will be the right choice. Your education will be the most important part of your life; the kind of life you live, your husband lives, the kind of husband you have, and the kind of kids you will have. If he can't move their you should go anyway, although if it is really meant to be, then hopefully you can both still be together. and dating while apart at college, really isn't that bad. (as long as you can trust each other)
