Do I follow my dreams or swallow my pride?

I have a problem concerning my education and ex-girlfriend.

A few months ago we broke up - knowing that we would see each other at our new school for a half-year semester.

3 weeks have passed at the school and it has been very problematic for us both. We are friends in the weekdays, are able to talk and stuff - but we share the same friend group and attend the same parties.

At these parties, she tends to dance 'naughty' with other guys in front of me, which has been my only actual problem. Even though I've come to terms with that we aren't meant for each other, I still get jealous - as does she when I dance/flirt/drink with the girls there. She's confronted me on it on occasions, as have I with her.

Last week I decided to change schools - something I did for my own mental health. Problem is, this school doesn't have the education I really want - which my other one has. This has made me very depressed, because it won't help me get into the university I wanted to go to.

Now I'm thinking of going back - even though I told her and all my friends there that I had to leave. It would seem like I was going back to try and get her, but genuinely I want to get through my studies so I can get on with my life. Socially I was having a much better time there than I was here anyways, even considering having my ex-girlfriend in my friend group.

So, either I suck it in, choose to stay on this course even though it won't get me anywhere, or I go back and 'apologize' to my mates there - hoping they understand my concerns.

What would you do if you had my dilemma?

I'm currently suffering from a depression - I've begun on some medication and treatment - it's all getting a lot better. But the bi-polarity of my mind has been making it hard for me.
