Hello everybody,

I have this really good friend who broke up with her boyfriend. She was going to go to a public university for her freshman in year in college, but she doesn't want to go there anymore because of being around her ex-boyfriend. She is now looking for another college. Is there any recommendations for colleges I could check out for her, that is preferably cheap for her, and is in the Northwestern US (Oregon would be excellent). Any help would be great. I want to help her find a college for her to go to so she doesn't have to stress out about this.

There are many other public universities/colleges in the NW. University of Washington has several campuses. If she can afford one it seems she could afford the others as well unless she has to pay out of state tuition.

On another note...it isn't really healthy to organize your life around where your ex isn't. That is letting him control her life. Most universities are big enough that you would not run into each other all that often.

Exactly. Most colleges are huge and the chances of running into him are slim. At even my 2000 person school, there were people that I wouldn't see for months on end. I'd highly recommend not changing the most significant decision of her life based on some guy. What would happen when she starts dating again and breaks up with the next guy (or vice versa)?

Well, a group of her and her friends and her ex were going to live in the same house, like each have their own bedroom. There are no open dorms for her. So she would have to see him everyday, if not many times a day.

Couldn't they find another house? Or, better yet, couldn't they ask him to find other accomodations? It would be easy for a guy to find a house that needs a roommate in a college town.

If they are her friends, and they are no longer together, why does he need to stay in that house?
