Only if doing so won't be that big a deal. If it would severely interrupt your college goals, don't.

I know it really really sucks but you have to endure this. Because there's the possibility that you would go there, and your granddad doesn't die while you're there and you have to go back.

At least he would get the chance to say goodbye, even if he doesn't die and he has to go back.

The college will still be there when you return.

He's going away forever.

Someone put it to me this way once:
You'll never regret GOING.

Just be prepared to live with yourself if you don't.
