| considering youve never seen columbia and your most solid reasons for going are since your HS expects you to and your mom wants you to.. i say go to UCLA. usually i would say screw the bf, youre only 18 and dont know but for some reason i get the feeling that wouldnt be effective and that you do truly know that you want to get married.
if you say you "fit" at ucla and will get, arguably, just as good as an education i dont know why you wouuld worry about finances/fitting in/bf to go to columbia! if your ONLY reason for UCLA was the boyfriend i would say no dont do it. but you sound like you want it really bad for good reasons so go for it!
and also, i dont think i could EVER commit to a college without visiting. you always have grad school for the east coast or even columbia |
