She made it sound as though she was a University of Tokyo student, when she actually attended Waseda (the university names are just examples).
I happened to get a brief look at her student ID and found out.
According to her, the University of Tokyo was her first choice, and she had always received an A rating on practice exams and was absolutely confident she would get in. However, she missed it by just a few points, and her parents opposed her taking another year to retake the exams, so she reluctantly enrolled at Waseda. She said she had lied because she was convinced that, since she had missed it by only a few points, she had virtually the ability to get into the University of Tokyo, and because she had an academic background complex. Regardless of the circumstances, I feel uncomfortable having been lied to for an entire year.
Is this something I should report to Universe as feedback? For reference, the staff comment described her as a highly educated female college student.

I feel like academic credentials are the last refuge for people who have nothing else to be proud of. The fact that someone still has to cling to something like that makes me lose interest.
My papa is so unconventional that people around him apparently assumed he’d only graduated from middle school. He just laughed and said, “Of course I went to college—gahahaha.” His assets are easily worth five billion yen. Academic background really doesn’t matter.

People often say that when it comes to relationships between men and women, if you’re going to be deceived, it can also be important to keep letting yourself be deceived.
If you’ve been seeing her for over a year, I think you probably understand her fairly well by now. Even while reporting it to the club, I’ll probably keep letting myself be deceived.
I suppose I should have checked whether the student ID I was seeing for the first time was likely to be fake, too(笑).

I’m guessing you prefer women who attend prestigious universities.
I’ll use university names merely as examples here, but…
If both are highly prestigious schools, I don’t think it really matters whether it’s Waseda or Todai. Is the relationship continuing simply because she attends Todai?
You say you feel uncomfortable because she lied, but I don’t sense much mature composure from you.
Feel free to share your feedback.

I do think it would be better to leave feedback, but to begin with, the club doesn’t disclose the names of universities, nor will they answer if asked.
That’s why they use wording like “a highly educated female college student.”
So if you leave feedback, the staff can learn the woman’s actual university. However, if both universities are well-known, they’ll still give the same answer if another man asks:
“She attends a prestigious university.”
On the other hand, if it turns out that her university isn’t actually very well-known, that part will probably be corrected, so feedback may be useful in that sense.
