Please dua and advice - I'm in a very hard situation

Assalamu alaikum. I need advice and duas right now. I have fallen in love with a servant of Allah. He is 21 and I am 20, and we've loved each other sincerely for years. We can't tell our families or marry yet - my family is career-focused and expects marriage later, and there are big family differences in status and views. He brought me closer to Allah and opened my eyes. The same girl who thought concerts and mingling were fine changed her ways for his sake: I started waking up for tahajjud and doing more dhikr. He truly changed me for the better. We often cried together about how difficult marriage would be, but we kept trusting that Allah would find a way. He went for Umrah and prayed for us. Now I got accepted to a university four hours from my home city - it's the best medical college in my country and has been my dream before I even met him. Before I applied he asked me many times not to leave, saying he could not be at peace if I were far away. To be clear, we never had any physical relation and no zina at all. I told him I would try to stay for his sake and I even begged my parents, who don't know about him, to let me stay, but they refused. They insist sacrifices are needed for my career and are very strict about it. He is now very upset and says we should end things because Allah has different paths for us. He believes his conservative parents will never accept someone who lived in a hostel, and he says our situation was already hard and now it's impossible. I argued that intentions matter more than where someone lived - someone who studied at home could have bad character, etc. I would be coming home every weekend or every two weekends. He keeps telling me to convince my parents, but they are adamant. I'm terrified that if we don't make it, I'll lose him and my dream university and career. I'm emotionally fragile and he has been my pillar of strength after Allah. Maybe this separation is for the best, but please, make dua that Allah guides him, softens hearts, and brings a solution. I can't handle this alone right now. Please suggest duas too - which supplications I can make for guidance, patience, and that hearts are softened. JazakAllah khair.
