How to convince my parents to let me go to the uni I want to go to?
I have to accept my uni offers in less than a week and I still haven’t even told my parents that I want to go to a different university than the one they want me to go to/think I’m going to. The university they want me to go to is local and within my city, versus the one I want to go to which is located in a different city. I tried sucking it up and going to the local uni and I hated it so much, I dropped my program within two weeks and left the school. Now I don’t want to make the same mistake of doing something I don’t want to do but I’m scared of how my parents will react to it. My parents are the very stereotypical overbearing South Asian parents who want their child to live with them till marriage. They always talk about how I’m going to live with them for a long time and that they can’t leave me alone bc they’re scared. Whatever they say, I’m probably still going to go to the university I want to bc it’s better in every metric (idk how but I’ll find a way). I just want to convince them so our relationship still exists and so they don’t try stopping me or making things complicated for me when I do leave. Please help me out 🙏
