About your boyfriend:

... I have been dating for almost 9 months now ... he's completely in love with me. ... He tells me that I am his world and am his only motivation to do well in college. ... He's the smartest person I have ever met (which I find extremely attractive), incredibly sweet, generous, loving, etc ... I love and definitely care about him back, ... whom I care about too, almost more than anything ... He treats me better than anyone ... my parents absolutely love him ... his parents love me

Guess yourself which one sounds as love, and which one doesn't. It looks quite obvious to me.

I think you fallen for the schzo because he has something in common with you that your boyfriend doesn't so you connect with him on a different level than your boyfriend. You may connect with your boyfriend a little better you talk about your schizophrenia with him & try giving him a better understanding of it.

If you're already debating about leaving him then it's not a good sign

This is why some partners don't want their partners hanging out with other men or women because they may fall in love with one of them and leave them for them.

It doesn't look obvious at all to me. I honestly don't see what you're getting at.

Yeah... I have no desire to sleep with that other person vis-a-vis the person I'm sleeping with.

Open relationships seem to me to be just orgies spread out over a longer space of time.
