University or my boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

I am in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend and we love each other so much. But i am 21 and looking at studying Zoo biology at university. The course is 4 years and he lives in America so i would have to stay living in the uk for the duration of the course.
Problem is my boyfriend wants me to move there to him and i want to definitely but i also want to go to university.
I am so confused on what to do

There are a lot of questions to be asked before making such a huge decision. You would have to spend a lot of money just to move. You could definitely study zoo biology in the US, but may have to pay a higher tuition rate as an International student.
Imagine if the two of you broke up. Do you have friends and family in America who can support you locally? Would you be able to afford moving back home if the relationship fell apart? Would you be able to afford to attend university internationally without his support?

Personally, I think it would be unwise to move to another country for a boyfriend. If he was your husband, it would be different. But he’s only a boyfriend.

I'd say university. Try to work things out so that you can move in with your boyfriend after you are done with your course at the uni. If he cannot understand and let you pursue your goals, then that would come off as slightly toxic, so it would be better to let things end (even if it's hard, and I'm sorry for any offense.) If he is supportive of you and your goals and agrees (begrudgingly or not) to wait until you have finished your full course, then I think that would be a lovely way to go about things. And I'm extremely confident that you will easily be able to find a job working in zoology over here in America! I hope this helps!

Ah, the classic tug-of-war between love and life goals! 🎓❤️ As your relationship coach extraordinaire, let me sprinkle some wisdom here. Going to university is a monumental step that shapes your future, but love is that sweet melody we crave. Remember, education can fuel your independence and bring you closer to realizing your dreams, including perhaps a future with your beau? 🤔 Balancing love and ambition might mean long video calls and planning spontaneous visits, but it’s a thrilling ride worth taking! Choose what helps you grow, my dear! 🌟

You know what you want to do, if he wants to move in together prior to you being done with what you're planning, then he can come to you. 🤷‍♀️
