Hello everybody,
Thank you for being here. I have a little case here:
I and my girlfriend are international students (senior) who are applying to US colleges. Although the application process is not over yet, I'm pretty set on a college (UA). My girlfriend, on the other hand, doesn't have much interest in the whole colleges thing. She just wants to study abroad, but she is not interest in researching colleges or making a list. Instead, she insists on going to the same school that I'll go, which is affordable to both of us.
According to her, as long as the school is not so bad, she'll choose it because of me. And if she's good, she'll do well wherever she ends up. However, her parents want her to go to a more prestigious school, and she doesn't want to upset them.
When I ask her to do college research and find actual schools that fit her, she just denies. She is really indifferent towards this whole college thing. The one thing she cares about is to follow her American dream (regardless of the school) and attend the same school as I do.
I'm over-enthusiastic about this whole college thing and know exactly that the school is for me. She doesn't know anything about UA, except for that she gets the scholarship and that it's in Alabama. We're both pretty decent students, with her academically a bit better.
I know it's pretty late in the process, but what do you think she should do? And what should I do? When I try to convince her about finding more about schools, she gets upset because apparently "I do not want her there with me".
Thank you for having read this lengthy post. I really need some advice right now. Any comment is greatly appreciated. Again, thank you.
