[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter and her boyfriend have been together for a year.  She has a higher gpa and test scores than him so will most likely get into higher ranked schools. Boyfriend’s parents are moving out of state after graduation so if they attend separate colleges, [b]there would really be no way for them to see each other.[/b]  Because of this she is planning on attending a lower ranked school that she’s rather sure he’ll get into.  
How p*ssed would you be about this?

You need to help her check the facts on this one and sell the long distance thing. They could easily get a summer job/internship in the same place together, whether it’s in your town, either of the college towns, or the parents’ new town. He can come visit or she can go visit at winter break. They can travel together for spring break. Plenty of opportunities to see each other during the year, blah blah blah. Of course you don’t really want her to be tied down long distance but this at least gets her where she needs to be.

They don’t need to go to the same school, either, to still be near each other. Research areas where she can go to a higher ranked school and he can go to one in his wheelhouse? There are lots of cities that have several schools. [/quote]
