<p>Im married and starting college this coming fall... anyone else out there in the same spot?</p>
<p>How old is you?</p>
<p>I am nineteen... young yes, but I am incredibly happy with my choice. Stuff is on the right track</p>
<p>Well I am glad to hear that. As long as everything is well and good. As for myself, I shall not marry.</p>
<p>it's rare to find married students.</p>
<p>50 years ago when people got married at age 20, this was common. Now most people hold off until their late 20s.</p>
<p>Personally, I am looking forward to getting married someday. So many people avoid it now, and to the people who don't think it will work, let me advise you this--marry someone who is not just a lover, but also a great friend. Love can be temporary, but friendships are forever!</p>
<p>thanks for the advice... i am already married, and, seeing it as a lifetime commitment, your marriage advice is a little late. However, my husband is both. </p>
<p>I didnt post for advice, just wondering if there was anyone else who was married and attending school</p>
<p>Rebecca, is your husband going to the same college as you?</p>
<p>I think its awesome that you are both a wife and a student. While marrying young is not for everyone, I think its silly when people assume you either marry young and don't go to college, or you go to college and get married when you are done with school. Its totally possible to do both if you have the determination and focus like you do!</p>
<p>I have a friend who is married. She started college single though. She got married while she was studying abroad in Egypt (and converted to Islam too). So, after coming back, she basically doesn't go out and party much because she's married and can't drink alcohol. She ended up working a lot on Friday and Saturday nights when no one else wanted to work.</p>
<p>... the only married students I know are graduate students</p>
<p>i have nothing against young marriage, quite the contrary. however, i could never imagine being married while in college - having a boyfriend is difficult enough at times, haha. i guess you could say i adhere to the more typical college lifestyle (i.e. started off in a dorm, joined a sorority, go out dancing/partying on weekends), but if you are going to a university that offers it (mine happens to), you should look into family housing (if your husband will be attending the same school, or will be joining you where you plan to be living). that way, you will be able to meet and make friends with other married couples (some even with children). if you guys already own a house and you plan to commute to class, you should check out the offered clubs and organizations on campus - there might be a social group for married college couples. oh, and if you're not morally opposed, check out the local churches around campus (on campus newman center would also be a good start) - they will surely have support groups for young newlyweds.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
