if my girlfriend and i went to different colleges, and I wanted to transfer into her's, how much would it make a difference if I told the admissions office my situation? like would it be easier to transfer if i was like "my girlfriend and I really need to be together" as opposed to just not mentioning it at all

DON'T mention it.

I wouldn't transfer, you may want to now, you may think you love her but when/ if you guys break up that place would turn into your hell.

OMG do NOT mention it!!! They not only don't care, but it will make you look immature. You're supposed to want to go there because you like the school.

And honestly, that's a dumb reason for transferring. If you and your girlfriend love each other that much and trust each other, college won't break you up. I know someone who didn't do an exchange program to France because she was dating someone she thought she was going to marry, and she ended up breaking up with him and completely missed out on going to France. She is SO kicking herself for it.

You might end up staying with your girl throughout college or not, but that is definitely not a reason to transfer. School is so much bigger than that, and it affects your career. Don't do it.
