Okay, let's get ready to ramble and climb the great wall of text. To start this off I'm currently doing my final exams and hopefully graduating with good enough grades so I can apply to an university. Not such a big deal because of the mandatory military service my country has, which basically gives me an extra year to get those grades up if they aren't enough to get in since I won't be going there before that's out of the way. Me and one of my friends have planned for a while to go to the same university and rent a flat together, because we are both interested in the same field of study. The first couple of exams went pretty smoothly, and everything was going fine until my mother passed away last weekend.

It came out of nowhere, and I don't think my brain still wants to register it happened. Needless to say, this really brought down my motivation for the remaining exams which just happened to be the ones I needed for the field I'm applying to. But again, no big deal since I can just raise the grades and apply again next year with no drawbacks.

To the actual reason for posting this, my dad always appeared to be not too keen on the university I was considering with my pal, offering alternative unis and such, as were some of my other relatives. I didn't think about it too much back then, but now when all this is going down, we had a talk and he said he wished that I would consider not applying there.

I think the points he made are reasonable, and finally he told me it would make him really happy if I applied to more nearby unis, especially a one near where he was going to be living, the capital city of my country. Again, I didnt say anything as I haven't even looked that place up because the required grades seemed tough and the location doesn't interest me at all. I brought it up later and he told be that if I wanted to make him happy I'd make it my second option.

So, WIBTA if I still put that far away uni as my first or second option, before the capital city uni? I know and he has told me many times that it's my choice but I still feel like a scumbag for thinking about it and upsetting him even more after recent events. On the other hand, I dont want to pull the rug from under my friend because we have been planning this as long as we've known what to do with our lives after graduating.

Now, I want you to hold any NTAs off to say that my dad is a great man with no animosity between us. Even though my parents divorced ages ago, he's arranging most of the funeral services and the practical proceedings so I don't have to. I also believe that the reason behind his suggestions is that he would miss me and worry a lot about me living so far away after being with him and/or my mom the whole time before this.
