I am just applying for university to study accounting and finance but I dont know what to do. I live in London, but my boyfriend studies in Univrsity of Kent. I have applied there, but it is not very good for accounting and the only reason I want to go there is because of him.
I rather go to Essex or Birmingham. I just cannot make up my mind. It's so hard for us now coz we only see each other at the weekends. I want to be with him so much but then I don't want my career to suffer... I just don't know what to choose. Anybody having an idea how to solve this?

University really isn't all about academia. It's about growing up too.You don't need a first class degree to get ahead: Tony Blair, John Major, Carol Vorderman ~ they all got third class degrees.
If you think being near your boyfriend is going to hinder your uni experience (academically or socially) then its not a particular university you have to drop: you have to drop *someone*.
If you think your boyfriend will help you to achieve your goals then go to Kent. As long as it's "good enough" for accounting I'm sure you'll thrive under your boyfriend's encouragement.
Look again at your question though! You say, "I'd rather go to Essex or Birmingham". That says more than I ever could.

Uni is only for 3 years. Go for Essex and Birmingham based on their reputation and if you like their courses...forget your boyfreind you can see him at weekends.
I know of two couples who were in a similar situation. One of the couples...he is based in Manchester and she is Norwich and they are still together.
The other couple one studied in Aberdeen the other Dundee...they said it improved their relationship...they spent quality time at weekends...made them appreciate each other better. Also they said it was better since they got good degrees...if they were in the same city they would have distracted each other...not being able to keep hands off each other! So it was better for both that they were apart. They are now happily married. So it can work

Do what EVERY other student does.
They go to separate universities.
The bloke gets pissed all through freshers week and mopes about how much he misses the girl, he call and texts a lot.
The girl gets pissed a lot and gets off with a few blokes, possibly sleeps with one.
They visit after the second weekend.
The girl is reminded of how much her life has changed in two short weeks and although she loves him, can't really stand the sight of him.
She sleeps with him for pity but is thinking about this guy in her friends Art class that she really fancies.
He continues to call and text loads, her replies become fewer and fewer.
He gets off with some girl during half term and is guilt ridden
She has been shagging the Art student.
They break up, it hits him like a ******* brick
she is a little guilty.

the adaptation between a "college" and a "college" is often none (except perchance ego and pretension.) yet contained in the united statesA. (something of the international isn't inevitably the same) a "college" is mostly a better company, providing graduate tutorial (MA, MS, PhD, etc.) and/or specialist (MD, JD, MSW, MSN, EdD, DDS, DD, etc.) to boot as undergraduate levels (AA, BA, BS, etc.) Universities often provide study in loads of fields, and commonly have numerous (or many) constituent faculties. No, a medical college isn't a college. however that's likely to affix a college Oh, and not in any respect all physicians' residencies are 4 years. some are shorter. somewhat some are longer.

The best bet would be to go to the university with the better course - it'll be better in the long run and for your career. If you only see him at weekends at the moment, it'll be easier to keep it going that way and then spend holidays together. It'd only for a few years.
Good luck :-)

Colchester's a lot closer to Kent but make a list of the pro and cons for which is better for YOU. Have you visited both? Trust your instincts about which is going to be better.

It is important that you go to the best school you can for your interests. Did your boyfriend choose a school based on where you would be going? No.
If you were meant to be together, your relationship will survive being apart for school. Many people do it.

Don't pin your future on your current relationship. Try finding a school that is closer to him that offers a good curriculum in your field. Otherwise, stick with the weekends. See if he will transfer.
