Girlfriend coming to same college as me.. thoughts and opinions

<p>Me and my girlfriend have been dating for a year now, and weve both decided on the same university, we did not
choose this university based on eachother it kinda happened at a random and its just a bonus that were both going to the same one. I truly love this girl and i could defiently see myself with her forever, were not like most hs relationships. I just want to know if anyone has ever done this and what the outcomes have been, since i know first year is insanneee. thanks </p>

<p>If you love each other and it’s truly meant to be, it can only be a good thing-- going to different schools for undergrad is virtually a surefire relationship killer. Just make sure you don’t spend too much time together in the first weeks. Make your own groups of friends and get involved in separate hobbies. I knew someone who went to college with her hs boyfriend and ended up so friendless because they only spent time with each other.</p>

<p>Just letting you know, you sound exactly like every high school relationship. Everybody thinks their relationship is different than others.
The biggest falter to relationships in college is that people change… your girlfriend may not be the same person she was in high school. And that’s perfectly fine, you’ll probably change as well. </p>

<p>All I have to say is this: Don’t let your relationship limit your opportunities socially; you can still go out with your buds, don’t be scared to have other friends that are girls as well. If it’s really meant to be, it’ll work out. If it’s not, it’ll be a great building experience and there will always be other fish in the sea. </p>

<p>Of course it has been done before, some unofficial article said like 5% of all marriages were from their high school sweetheart. Just know the odds are probably against you, but many relationships (yours?) can be strong enough to fight through the odds, just don’t be afraid to escape the relationship if you find your partner has changed and you aren’t head over heels anymore.</p>

<p>That being said I wish you the best of luck, I hope you two end up together but if it doesn’t work out… realize it’s not the end of the world. </p>
