<p>If you feel committed and want to stay with her, try to keep up the relationship for freshman year. If it's a strong relationship, it will survive the distance and challenges of your being at separate schools. If either of you discovers that you are more attracted to someone else or prefer to extend your social network more locally at college, then that 's probably for the best , even if the other party (temporarily ) finds the break up painful. Either way, being at separate schools will be good for you in the long run.</p>
<p>No sense in breaking up in anticipation, do what feels right for now. Don't promise loyalty forever but act on how you honestly feel about each other. If it's working for both of you, it's working.</p>
<p>Do not go to a college you don't like just because of your gf. If you break up with her, you may regret it. However, if you like the college and so does she, go for it.</p>
<p>Break up with her. If you find that you really do love her and are willing to make a long distance relationship work, then you can get back together. But if you break up with her, make sure you explain it well. She should understand.</p>
<p>From personal experience, I'd say that breaking up would make the most sense. I was in a relationship last year with someone who went to college (we were in a long distance relationship prior to his going as well) and we ended up lasting for just a week after college started. We also ended up with a rather unpleasant break up which ruined a fantastic friendship.</p>
<p>Talk it over with your girlfriend and see what she thinks. You could also opt for an open relationship or agree to remain friends for now and see how things go in college.</p>
<p>long distance relationships are REALLY REALLY REALLY hard</p>
<p>and they're never harder than when one or both of you is in college</p>
<p>If you choose to do it, good luck, if it doesn't work out, you're in good company, the vast majority of long distance relationships fail miserably.</p>
<p>going to college means u will meet a lot of pple for better or worse who are more compatible with you academically, socially hell even sexually than those you had in high school. i have a g friend i love vry much but understand i will need to start getting over her as long distance has been proven difficult to manage</p>
