Boyfriend vs Transfer

[clbeale]

Hello. I really need your prayers and opinions about a pressing matter that I have been struggling with. I have been dating the GREATEST christian guy for a year and a half, and we have recently decided that we want to transfer to the University of Georgia because the college we go to now is soo boring. As we wait for our acceptance letters, I am faced with the scenario that theres a good chance that only one of us will get in.

Pros of transfering: I already have an apartment up there, they have an incredible program for christian students, its a better quality education.

Cons of transfering: While the college is boring, I do love it here, and it is close to my family. I make great grades here.

Also there's another factor... my Boyfriend's last relationship was strictly long distance, so he is strongly against going through that again. He is seriously the most amazing, most compatible, (and not to mention most beautiful) and respectful person i have ever met. He is my very best friend, and i REALLy do not want to lose him. I can't imagine a better partner for life. But how do you balance that factor with the whole "don't base your college decision on a boyfriend?"

If he gets in and i do not, i have the option of going to a smaller community college on the UGA campus until I can transfer into UGA. Being a deans list Univeristy student, will it affect my transcript poorly if I move to a less prestigious school?

I know this is long. But i am so heart broken about this, and we are expecting our decision letters any time now. Any advice or prayers would be appreciated beyond words. Thank you.

I will pray for you, but honestly I don't really know what to tell you. Have you spoken to him about it, or your parents? Maybe that will help. Keep praying about it and remember that God *always* wants the best for you, and he wants your dreams to come true.
Don't worry, things will turn out good. just give your worries to Him.

My parents want me to do what makes me happy. My dad is a former UGA graduate himself, so he is all for the transfer. My boyfriend says that I should do what makes me happy, and whatever is best for my career. The move isn't necessary, just for a better quality of life and education for a few years. He makes me happy. The instant i saw him i had that "hes the one feeling," and the whole time we've been together i have never once doubted that. i just don't know if i should do my own thing, be my own person and transfer if i get in, regardless if he does or not, or maintain my happiness and comfortable way of life as it is now with him.

I think it is important for you to be your own person apart from him. And if he is telling you to do what you think is best then do it! If you guys are meant to be together it will happen, so no worries there.

I am sure that you have a gut instinct leaning one way or the other. Am I right?
