My friend,s daughter chose her school to be by her boyfriend. By the end of the summer though they had broken up. So instead of being at a new environment that helped her get over him, she had the pain of watching him date new people.

Tell him if they are a different schools they can double their friends and social life. And when they want to buckle down (for exams or to write a paper), they can be on separate campuses without distraction.

Jus share these stories for him to consider.

This will not end well.

Are both large schools ? If yes, then better to stay out of it. If a break-up occurs, then there is enough space for each person to get on with life.

If the school in common is small, then a break-up is hard to handle as they will encounter each other daily.

He needs to attend the better school with the most merit. In the long term that' supersedes who he is dating.

I disagree with other posters but I also made the mistake of having a long distance relationship for most of college. I'd happily tell him why that was a total failure for me, but I was glad that I didn't go to school with my high school boyfriend.

Following a high school boyfriend or girlfriend to college is one of the dumbest decisions that young adults consistently make. Tell him not to ruin his college experience pursuing a relationship that is statistically almost guaranteed to fail in the end. The way to have the best possible experience is to go to the school HE wants to attend, crush it during rush, pledge a top-tier house, and have so many foyine girls chasing him that by fall break he won't remember the girl's name that he was considering changing colleges for. Not to mention if he goes to the better school and plugs into the network a top-tier fraternity can provide, he'll have a hell of a lot better future, too.
