Is it really wise to advise someone to start in community college when they got into a real university? Because you aren’t his parent, I don’t think it is your place to suggest that he go to community college first because he will probably flunk out anyway. I agree your daughter shouldn’t be making this decision based on where her boyfriend is going to be, but the way your post reads is that you want the boyfriend to go to a community college so that your daughter won’t choose the large university far away. If that’s what you meant, again I must say that I don’t think it’s your place. It’s also not the boyfriend’s place to suggest that she follow him to a non-selective university; of course, sometimes it’s hard to get an 18-year-old kid to understand that.

They need to choose their universities based on what is best for them professionally.
