Move Closer To My Long Distance Girlfriend?

should i move back to my home town to be with my girlfriend? We met in our home town and moved for college. We’ve been in a long distance relationship for more than a year now. She’s 21 and I’m 22. I’m wondering if I should move home and go to a local University while applying for a transfer college cuz she moved back home due to financial issues. If i get in to the colleges i’m trying to get into i will move back. If i don’t get in, i am planning on going to a local university in my home town. (not the best school but still pretty decent) The issue here is my financial situation. I will be paying out of state at my home town for a semester or 2 till i get residency. Also moving that far can cause a lot of stress haha. I love her and i don’t know if she’d wait any longer. i know she says it and she should wait if she really loves me but i feel like WE deserve better. Should i make the leap and sacrifices? After all i am the man of the relationship haha
