Hi Toni34,
You would be able to apply for EEA2 as an unmarried partner of an EEA student.Provided she is enrolled within a registred educational institution/college and you have a comprehensive sickness insurance to cover both of you.
Good luck

I am not sure this is right. Unmarried partner of Student don't qualify under the UK legislation, and their is a case they won't be under the directive, except the student can supply proof of Self Sufficiency.

Unmarried parter falls under Regulation 8(5) Extended Family members. The only people that can qualify are the descentant over 21 who can show proof of dependancy and the Ascendant who are dependant. Even they will fall to be treated as a family member of a Student, but rather as Extended Family members.
