Instead, the rebellious Lorelai ran away to Stars Hollow, a small, close-knit town near Hartford. There she met Mia, owner of the Independence Inn, who gave her a job as a maid and acted as a surrogate mother to both Lorelai and Rory. Lorelai eventually became general manager of the inn, her position at the start of the series. She and Rory lived in a converted potting shed behind the Inn for about ten years before moving to the house they live in during the show. Lorelai consistently tried to minimize her parents' contact with Rory until (the first episode of the series) Lorelai approached them to fund Rory's elite fictional prep school, Chilton Academy.
Rory's education
Rory's academic aspirations complicate matters on the show. Rory had wanted to attend Harvard University since kindergarten; to achieve this she transfers to the private (fictional) Chilton Academy, an elite prep school in Hartford, from the public Stars Hollow High at the beginning of her sophomore year. A university-preparatory school or college-preparatory school (usually abbreviated to preparatory school, college prep school, or prep school There, she encounters an unfamiliar social environment of wealthy, high-strung peers. Lorelai knows that she cannot afford Rory's Chilton education, and reluctantly solicits help from her parents. Richard and Emily Gilmore agree to lend Lorelai money on the condition that she and Rory attend dinner at their Hartford mansion every Friday evening. The dinners become a common setting for heated conversations and family drama.
After much deliberation, and with her mother's blessing, Rory ultimately decides to go to Yale, her grandfather's alma mater, instead of Harvard. Alma mater is Latin for "nourishing mother" It was used in Ancient Rome as a title for the mother Goddess, and in Medieval Lorelai repays her parents' Chilton loan just before Rory's graduation, ending their mutual arrangement. However, she later discovers Yale is not offering any financial aid for Rory, putting her education in financial jeopardy once again. She has an adequate amount of money, but it was to be used to buy the Dragonfly Inn. Rory realizes that this was important to Lorelai and secretly goes to her grandparents to request the tuition money from them in exchange for the continuance of the Friday night dinners. Rory negotiates the terms of the loan with her grandparents, agreeing on beginning the repayment five years after she graduates and with no interest accrued. After the death of his grandfather Rory's father, Christopher, receives a large inheritance and offers to do anything for Rory. So Rory decides, after a big fight with her grandparents, to have him pay for her tuition from spring semester of her junior year on. This created more tension when her grandfather went to pay for Yale and found out it was already paid for, but ultimately the Friday night dinner tradition continued. As a result, more rage comes into the Gilmore family.
In the seventh season, Rory graduates from Yale. She got a job opportunity, but she turned it down in favor of applying for the New York Times fellowship program. Unfortunately, she later finds out she was not accepted into the fellowship and the job she was offered before is now filled. So, Rory graduates from Yale uncertain where her career is going and what she will be doing. In the final episode she accepts an impromptu job offer to work for an online magazine, in which she will follow Barack Obama on the campaign trail. The town throws an equally impromptu going away party for Rory, wishing her well and love as she heads into the world outside of Connecticut.

When Luke finds out he has a daughter he wants to slow things down with Lorelai. After a while she grows impatient and gives him an ultimatum. She told him they would get married now or it was over. He declined and their relationship ended in the sixth season finale. In the seventh season, during the Spring Fling (one of the town's many festivals), the two meet in the middle of a hay maze, and both apologize for their behavior regarding the end of their relationship, thus beginning a new, tentative friendship. In the series finale, Luke moves mountains to throw Rory a graduation/going away party in the town square. When Sookie tells Lorelai that Luke painstakingly put the bash together, with the help of most of the townfolk, Lorelai decides to thank Luke for his thoughtfulness.
