I have a question along the relationship line. I currently live a half-mile away from my boyfriend of 5 years and have been offered a spot at two programs. The first is a perfect fit for my research interests but is across the country. The second is a couple states over but is not quite as good of match.
I'm also still waiting to hear from a program 30 mins away from home that, while a great program, is not a great fit. (This program has not made offers yet as far as I know).
I am not very keen on long distance (we did that for a couple years in college) and while I don't know if we are heading the marriage route, I'm more torn up about the idea of leaving than I thought I would be.
What should I do/consider in making my decision? Has anyone been in this situation before?
