<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

So as you all know, the college app season is upon us and everyone is super stressed and anxious and I'm having such a hard time with my mom. She very recently got diagnosed with cancer again (3rd time) and is extremely opposed to me going to a university that is about 2 and half hour drive away. They want me to commute 40 minutes to a university that is extremely new and small and I'm not exaggerating is in the middle of nowhere and has nothing to do. Both of my older brothers go there and have no complaints because they are not social people so it seems so crazy and new that I actually want to leave and go to a better university (UC Santa Cruz).

Because she has cancer, she wants the whole family to stay together for as long as possible because it is pretty serious this time around. I understand this, and I get it, and I want it to. But I know if I go to the university close to home, I will not be happy, and I've tried to see it in positive ways to make it work but I really just can't see myself going there.

I have no clue what to do. I am so completely stressed with school, the cancer, and all this college shit. I feel so guilty for wanting to go away, but not one part of me wants to stay home, especially with such an amazing university only 2 and a half hours away. Can anyone give me advice?
<bot>: I want to move away for college, but mom with cancer wants me to stay home and go to a boring/not so good college
