Yes, college is important for everyone who wants to advance in life but what if the one you are with doesn't want to go with you? My boyfriend doesn't like the place I will be moving to for college and doesn't know yet if he will go with me. He has said before that he would and other times he has said he is going to stay in his hometown. What are we supposed to do once I leave? I'm not giving up college because I got in to the place of my dreams, Gonzaga University! He knows that but still doesn't know what he is going to do. I think it would be great if he went with me but I don't want him to be unhappy.. hum... Well, yeah.. college changes a lot of things. But I can't wait to be more independent! GO ZAGS!

My boyfriend lives an hour away from where i go to school. As long as you communicate somehow on a regular basis and see eachother once in a while and on breaks, you can do it.
Hug a musician, they never get to dance.
The major issue with a long distance thing like that is trust. As long as you keep in touch and agree to be honest with each other in case one of you makes one of those drunken college mistakes (and yes, it does happen whether you mean it to or not) then you can work through any problems that arise and end up with a much stronger relationship afterwards. If you can't do that, then it probably just wasn't "meant to be."

:) Hey there! Lol, I'm actually HAVING a long distance relationship right now (both my boyfriend and I are in college - he lives in Illinois and I live in South Carolina), and I can tell you while it isn't easy, (and communication is difficult with only prepaid phones to link us and lamespace messages) I'm glad that we're doing this and that we're trying.
It all depends on how much the relationship is worth to both of you whether or not it will work out and you both have to equallly be making the effort to communicate. Just make sure to stress communication since it's one of the most important things in a long distance relationship!
Honestly, many of the best relationships don't survive college. It is unfair for you or him to give up your wants and dreams for someone else at this time. Chances are you guys might break up and he will resent you entirely if he went with you, or you would resent him if you didn't go to your dream university. Follow your dreams and if you guys are meant to be then it will last regardless.
college is a big test on even the strongest of relationships.
I agree; depending on the wants of each of you, you should do what you want. Go to the universities you want, and if he wants to move with you, great. If he doesn't, that's not such a bad thing. My older sister and her husband kept up their long distance relationship from highschool, through five years of college (one was a year older than the other), and have been happily married for several years.
Not every relationship can last that long, but if you think it's worth it and want to give it a try, I'd go for it. It could turn out to be the ultimate test of your relationship to see if it's worth it in the end

Things may just work themselves out, atleast they have for my boyfriend and myself. He is staying in Alabama attending UAB while i am in Florida attending FSU. It requires taking a lot of time out of both of your schedules to garuntee that you keep your relationship healthy, but it's worth it completely!
Good luck!!
Well, if you and the boyfriend are in the relationship together and you two truly care about each other then yes, you will get through the relationship just fine. I am a senior and about to college and I haven't truly decided if I am staying home or not but if I don't, I know that we have a loving, stable relationship and I will be ok!!!!!
Everything will be just fine. Just stay committed and communicate as much as you can and it'll work out.
