▲ 12 r/UCSC

Just got accepted and I don't know what to do.

Hello friends, I've never posted before but I need all the advice I can get. Back in November I applied to all the UC campuses (except Merced ofc). From the moment I saw UCSC's campus I could already imagine myself there. Although I really liked UCSC, I hoped I'd get in somewhere near home (I live in LA). I did. I got Accepted into UCR and waitlisted from UCSC. UCR not being my cup of tea, I was completely set on community college. Since decisions came out Ive gotten a good job and a girlfriend who I love so so much. Yesterday I got an email saying I got accepted into UCSC from the waitlist. Im stuck in a hard situation.

Either I try to make long distance work with my girlfriend (shes going to community college) or I reject UCSC and go to community college with her while also working. My girlfriend is completely supportive in me going to University so far away but I don't want to leave her. I thought about driving back on the weekends, but that would be around a 6 hour drive. I have 9 more days to make a decision and I don't know what to do!
