I’m having a hard time deciding where I want to go. MSU has been my dream school since the moment I first looked that school up. I busted my ass off to get in and I did and now I guess stress is getting to me. OU is cheaper, my girlfriend is there, but many people don’t like that school. They say people there are nothing but scum, idiots, or burnouts. And that the only thing to do is just study or party but mainly party. And from what I hear, the party stories aren’t good. MSU is more reputable and I don’t like OU. I guess you could say I’m stressed about finances and my relationship. What should I do? Go to a school I don’t personally like to be with one person or do I go to my dream school, maybe dump her and meet people or go to my dream school and continue this relationship?
I’d go with dream school
@IvyLeaguer225 do I go there and break it off or make it work? I’m gonna be a freshman in college and she’s gonna be a sophomore. We broke up before when she left for her frosh year to explore with different people. I’ve been recently thinking that I might wanna do that for myself
Um I don’t really have any good relationship advice her. It seems like Michigan is the school you want to go to, and if so, you should go there. What happens if you go to Ohio just for her and then break up? Think about which school you want to go to without having your girlfriend as an option.
Go with your dream school, especially because you don’t know how things will be your gf or how long it will last. You don’t want to go to a school you don’t like because your gf is there, and then if you break up (4 years is a long time) you’ll be miserable.
If you can make it work long-distance, great! You can try. If it doesn’t work, then you’ll both find other people.
While I don’t agree with your friends assessment of OU, going there because you have a girl friend going there isn’t a great reason. If you can afford it and you prefer attending MSU I would do it. The question as to whether or not you should break off the relationship is a separate one. That is going to depend on the state of your current relationship. The consensus is that most HS relationships don’t make it out of freshman year regardless whether you’re attending the same school or not. I think if you didn’t go to MSU you might ultimately feel regret and perhaps resentment.
If your family can afford MSU (even though you’re IS for OU) then go. It’s obvious you prefer the school.
I’d go with MSU.
