From the perspective of a teenage who is trying very hard to not think of her significant other while deciding to go 1000+ miles away:
Maybe you could make it seem a little bit less like going to Binghamton will end his relationship. Even though it probably won’t last, treat it like they’re “meant to be” and you know that and so you’re not trying to use a college choice to break them up. Talk about how maybe they can visit, see each other when they come home for breaks, etc. Because it’s getting to the time of the year when all us seniors feel like we’re leaving everyone we know and never ever seeing them again. It’s scary. Just take that out of the equation for him so he can really make a decision that’s good for him.
