My boyfriend wants to go to a college thats like an hour and a half away and he found out from my best friend that i dont want him to... but the only reason i dont want him to is cuz ill miss him. But thats normal now he wants to stay here and be with me how do i convince him i really want him to be happy at the college he wants to go to..

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
Well you gotta tell him it. Don't let your best friend tell him, you gotta tell him to his face so hes hearing it from you.
It is normal to miss somebody when they move far away so i bet he will understand. Just tell him that you guys should see eachother freekquently when you get the chance.
Well i hope i helped, and I am so sorry about this!
I know the feeling all to well about leaving the ones you love.

I think it's wonderful that all you want is his happiness. Congratulations! You really ARE in Love!
The only advice I can give you is to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with him. Tell him how you feel and let him make his decision. Be sure to lay everything out for him and let him him know that all you want is for him to be happy and to get the best education he can for the money he'll spend. After that it's all up to him. Good Luck!

i think you should tell him to go to the collage.i mean he deservies it. but sience you really would miss him maybe you could try a way to get into that same collage(if its possible) feel lucky that he cares so much about you and doesn't want to leaave you ....so maybe if he is an hour and a half away it would still work
love tina

Although my boyfriend is only a Junior in high school, I know what you're thinking. Because he and I have talked about colleges and stuff, and the one he's interested in is a good while away. However, I've told him - repetedly - that I want him to have the best possible education; no matter how far away the college is.
Yeah, I know it's really hard to have to let go of someone like that - someone that you love - and let them go far away. Of course, there's always those "wild college girls" that he'll come in contact with (unless he's going to an all-men college...) and you'll have to TRUST him with all of your heart and mind that he'll not cheat on you. I know I trust my boyfriend that much.
Once you're comfortable with the idea of him going away, and you trust him and trust him not to cheat on you, you should feel a little better about him going away.
Ask him to promise that he'll come home as often as possible, and call when he can, and write if he needs to, etc.
Tell him - TELL HIM!! - that you want him to go to college and get a good education. That way, he'll be able to get his degree in whatever his major is, that way he will be able to get a good job, enjoy the job, thus being able to provide for his wife and family. And if you marry him, you'll know that you REALLY want him to have a good job so you can be provided for.
Let him know that although you'll miss him, you want him to go to his choice college. Let him know! He needs to know.

"If you love them, let them go."
I think thats a pretty good philosophy to follow. Convince him that you'll still be able to see each other, I mean, an hour and a half isnt a long way away, my brother goes to a college thats 24 hrs away by plane! Say that before you were being selfish and that you were just letting your first emotional reaction to the news speak for you, but now you've thought it through and realized that if he's happy, you're happy.
Good luck, I know it sucks having people leave :(
