I'm moving so I could be closer to my gf (that was once 5 hours away) so now I can live with her. We've been in a long distance relationship for almost 2 years and we've recently gotten engaged. No, I don't plan on being with anyone else or breaking up with her.
So I find a perfect college (private school), I plan to go there in a couple of months. But the problem is, is that the school is about 50 minutes to an hour or more (not including traffic) away from her house. The city next to it isn't exactly the safest and she worried. She suggests that I go to a college closer to her house but one that I am not very fond of...We argue about it everytime I mention about the school of my choice. What should I do? Invest money and time to the college that I actually want to go to and possibly rent out a room with a roommate. OR save a bit of money and live with my girlfriend and go to the second college of choice? OR just drive the hour+?

I would drive the hour. If you're engaged, you really need to be close to each other; but it is important to go to a good school - and if you have an opportunity to go to a school you like, she should support you in this, and not be telling you otherwise. It is entirely your choice; she may offer suggestions, but it's unfair of her to be "arguing" with you about it if she is aware of your choice and the reasons behind it. Tell her gently that your mind's made up about the school; don't sacrifice your dreams because you're afraid to drive for an extra hour a day. People go to much greater lengths to attend the schools of their choice. Go for your dream.

I think that if she loves who you are she will love your decisons even if they're not the best, you should make the best of college and go to the college of your choice, just like you moved out to be closer to her you should make the drive to go to the school of your choice, and don't listen to the oh you don't love me crap just say this has nothing to do with love or our relationship when i get back from school were still going to be together when I get back. Well Good Luck!

Drive and kick it with your girl. That 2 hours a day can be some time to reflect on your day at school or whatever.

Drive the hour plus, its the down side but the up side is that you get to finally live with your girlfriend
