We had picnics, went biking and visited new places together. When he left, he bought the album we listened to when were biking for me. We were happy. When he had to go, I proposed that we don't have a long distance relationship (it's too painful), and he agreed.Next year, I'm going on exchange. Should I choose to go to Sciences Po Paris(a famous school in my field) or should I choose to go to Germany and see him? Pros and cons:Sciences Po Paris- Good education- Improve French (I've studied it for a while)- Would the reputation be beneficial to my career?- Expensive (So now, I have to work before I study Masters)- Heard that Parisians are not too friendly- Hard to rent a flat- Heavy workload, less travelingGerman Universities (Würzburg/Frankfurt School of Finance/Bremen):- Learn a new language- Affordable price (expenses would be half of Paris)- See him :D- I have a other German friends aside from him- More traveling

 Paris without a doubt. Besides a train ride or flight from Germany is not that long or expensive, so IF there is something between you two you can still visit each other.

Choose the better school this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Not to mention there are trains from Paris to Germany for not much money, it is much easier than getting from Canada to Germany!

 I too vote for Paris... better in the long term for your career... also making a huge life choice at your age for someone you barely know can totally backfire.
if it's to work out you can always visit and make a choice after you are done with your education.

This trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity to further your education and to go to a well respected school in your field would obviously give your future career a boost.

To be honest, at this stage in your life, I don't think it's a good idea to compromise your future by going to a less suitable college for the sake of a guy that you met whilst travelling, no matter how close you were. I have a friend who has been with his girlfriend for 7 years, and for one year they were both in different countries, but they managed to stay together.
The famous school in your field is clearly the better option. I
