Is it good to go to college with a girlfriend?

<p>I'm a rising freshman, about to go to college committed to my g/f. But, I've been warned about going to a new college meeting new ppl and doing social stuff(parties for example) having the weight of having a g/f on your shoulders, and I agree. It's just that the relationship has been good, and I can't really come up with enough reasons to break up with her. What should I do?</p>

<p>Don't stay with her if you're considering and want to break up with her. Just do it.</p>

<p>Are you guys going to the same school?</p>

<p>do it! lets see what happens.</p>

<p>no, im going to school in Virginia, she's going to a school in North Carolina.</p>

<p>Oh, I thought you were going to the same college together.</p>

<p>In that case, it's probably best to break-up, unless you're 100% in love and determined to keep her, which I don't think you are.</p>

<p>break up, if it's not you that finds another person or hooks up with another person, it's going to be her.</p>

<p>My boyfriend just broke up with me because he's going off to college next year and I'm in high school. It's kind of hard, but if you explain it to her and be as nice as possible, it's not too bad.</p>

<p>Just please, don't lie to her.</p>

<p>since you don't sound all that committed you should break up now. it'll happen anyway, so make it easier on both of you and do it now.</p>

<p>Staying together would be one of the dumbest decisions you could make.</p>

<p>My bro and his GF go to NYU and Barnard respectively, since they are both in NYC they are doing just fine together.</p>

<p>you are 18 no need for a serious relationship!</p>

<p>Just try and see where it takes you. Im a rising freshman as well and ive been with my gf for about 2 years. Honestly I think there will be that sense of burden but personally id rahter have a gf who I do long distan ewith and see for about 4 months a year rather than a GF at my respective college who may interfere wtih my studies at college</p>

<p>seriously, what the hell is this with relationship crap? For god's sake you guys are 18 and its time to focus on your academics. Forget about this relationship nonsense and focus on your career. Jeez!!</p>

<p>Oh seriously, it's not a matter of 'good' or 'not good'. Do you love her? Is it worth a long distance relationship? Or would you rather be free on the college scene than with her? It's something only you two can decide and it's a tad immature to ask total strangers.</p>

<p>Yeah there's some serious questions. Do you really think this girl could become someone you are with for the rest of your life? If not, I would probably advise you to not be with her. You can always try and see if it works, but you will miss out on some early social interactions. It's a tough decision that you should think about deeply.</p>

<p>i agree with huey.</p>

<p>Similar to post #11, my boyfriend and I go to BU and MIT, and since we both are in the same area, we're doing great. We've been dating since mid-junior year of high school and are now rising sophomores. I'm so happy we stayed together and survived freshman year :) </p>

<p>Though I guess it's a bit different than what you'll experience.. just saying.. it can work</p>

<p>I think if the only reason you're staying with her is because you can't come up with enough reasons to break up with her, then it probably isn't worth the effort of trying to maintain a long distance relationship.</p>

<p>in response to your title, that'd be like going to a buffet with a bag full of food. no.</p>
