Go to college in the provincial capital
As an experienced person, speak your mind! My wife and I met at work. Maybe it's because we all work in the county. It doesn't make much difference where to buy a house. My family prepared a set in our county, and bought a set for our children in our prefecture-level city after marriage. There is pressure now, but one of my classmates is different. We live together, so do I and his wife. They work in the provincial capital, and the woman asked to buy a house in the provincial capital, although I know that their family has a room for him in the county! They later mortgaged a second-hand house of 80 square meters in the provincial capital. Both husband and wife have to go to work, pay off their mortgage, have children, socialize, send their children to school, have insurance, eat and wear warm clothes. You should consider clearly that the house can't take all the money, and there are many places to spend money in the future.
