Here are your options:
Abortion:
may leave you feeling guilty,with a permanent loss/regret feeling
It would mean that your life remains as you are used to
You can date at uni, and find a partner that has similar interests, then have a kid with HIM once you both have your degrees
No one has to know
Keep the baby:
Going to be hard, no matter what anyone tells you
Expensive
May feel like the best choice you could have made
University study will be hard-impossible
You will have a cute little mini-me that you will 100% adore
Things may not work out with the father
You will take a child into any future relationships & that will likely make all potential future relationships harder.(and I mean ALL)
Variabes:
Your parents raise the child
You give it up for adoption
You forget about uni all together
You are rich and can afford uni+ a FT nanny
You don't care that your child may not receive all the individual attention it needs in its first 5 years and beyond
You really want a baby, and are willing to completely change your course of life for the one growing inside of you
I have tried to be as objective as possible, but my bias is still slightly there. The best thing is obviously NOT to have a BABY when you are 18 AND studying at UNI. Talk about stressful! These things on their own are incredibly taxing even for a very mature person(say 35)
My mum was 27 when she had me, but I still wish she were more established and prepared for a child.
I personally would probably keep the baby because I know my heart could not handle abortion..
But if yours can, let's admit that it would be best for you and your child.
If not, consider adoption or giving it away to close relatives.
Trust me, I HATE the idea of abortion.. With that said, the outcome of keeping the baby is so unnecessarily complicated that I would consider it in this case. Abortion doesn't have to be evil or bad, there are women who do it because they are in abusive relationships, and do not want to bring another child into it, women that get raped, people who cannot afford another child, those who's bodies cannot handle a child.. e.t.c e.tc.
I am taking a Human Growth course and it has really opened my eyes. Babies are incredibly complex, and are even too much work for an established woman with a husband to help her!
Consider my points, and decide what is best for YOU! Think about what you are and are not willing to give up at this point in your life, and in the future.
Everything is going to change with or without an abortion.
Good luck!
