Seperating is a just a bad idea.
Schools are everywhere, but so are jobs.
But, you're established, and school is not yet. With all the shit you went through trying just to get a job legally last year.... it's not worth it. And if shes in school, she probably can't support you.
The logical choice is to stay where you are, make some money, and she can float through school running on just your income. Perhaps online school? or re-apply to a few others within driving distance.
