Going to uni with your gf

Don't just go somewhere because of a partner. If there are loads of reasons and your partner is one of them, that makes more sense.

To be honest, prestige did influence why I chose Bristol over Manchester. I know in Bristol, there's going to be a lot of oxbridge rejects on my course (Maths), but in Manchester, there isn't as much. I figured one would have to be pretty serious about Maths to apply to Oxbridge, so I'll be around people who are really, really, really serious about maths. But comparing the universities on a whole, there isn't much difference between them, and I'm sure I'll grow to love which ever one I choose to go to, I won't regret it. The Maths course for both of them are similar, and I wouldn't mind either. What made me pick Bristol over Manchester is that, in my opinion, Bristol is more prestigious than Manchester, I liked Bristol's Maths prospectus more, and I think I'll mingle well with Oxbridge rejects like myself .

But in Manchester, I'll never starve nor run out of money, my aunty own a chain of resturants there, she's really rich. And half of my family lives in Manchester

I spoke to my gf about it today, and she didn't say much about it, she told me to do what I think is best because she doesn't want to be selfish.... . She got rejected from Bristol (English being one of the most competitive courses), but she said if she had a choice between Manchester or Bristol, she'll probably choose Bristol.

I'm still a bit confused to as what to do, thank you all for the comments, it's been very useful.

if it's worth it it will work wherever you go.

Most relationships are worth something. I don't understand why you would be in one were it not! But I have to stress this again - there is no guarantee three or fourth months later you’ll still be together! If your partner is the most important thing in your life (despite your only being eighteen) why have you got university on your agenda anyway? Surely the whole concept of university is about it aiding your dreams/independence/future career plans? If it's not and you're merely going to uni for the sake of it, then hey do whatever it is you want.

You won't need your girlfriend; there are sooo many girls at University that will want you.

So much variety and they will come to you.

I can just see all those girls who are gonna have long-distance relationships with their boyfriends at uni quaking in their boots right now!

so have you made up your mind whether you're going to bristol or manchester yet?

I think the last post by him suggested he was more inclined to go to Bristol
