It’s tough. Realistically, even if the BF doesn’t flunk out there’s a good chance they won’t be bf/gf a year from now once they get into the college scene. He might also be a distraction for her if they’re at the same place.

The 3 hour distance isn’t a big deal for logistics for you. College students don’t really need a whole lot they can’t get themselves on-campus or in an adjacent area so you shouldn’t really be concerned about running up to her if she ‘needs something’. You can always just take it next time you visit or send it to her.

On the further college - is it certain your D can’t still try to get into those other programs? Maybe she still has a chance. Regardless, your D should pick based on best fit and work out the rest.
