College life??

Im a junior and my boyfriend is a senior in highschool. We are VERY commited to each other and we plan on spending the rest of our lives together (no negative comments please). We been together for almost a year.





I know he is interested in some kind of trade school because he is interested in cars (but it will be hard for him to get into one because he doesnt get the best of grades). Im interested in psychology and being a couples therapist





When we go to college, what if our colleges are far apart from each other? How would we see each other? We want to live together during college, but we dont know how we would start off as. Should we get an apartment? We dont plan on living with other people at all, no dorms!





How would we be able to support ourselves during college for when we live together?





Also (this is probably a very stupid question, but I really want to know), is college like highschool when it comes to getting weekends off? As in, no school on Saturdays and Sundays

College life??
I am currently in the college life, so here is some testimony to my experiences...





Here's the fence, living with each other and going at it long distance, neither of these options work in this day and age.





Breaking up at college is more troublesome for everyone else, as I myself have to listen to some sob story every week or so (which is why I try to stay out of it all).





So my advice is to...


live long distance and trust your love, because in the long run it's a trust issue one way or the other.
Reply:Most colleges nowdays want their freshman to live on campus or with a family member, so good-luck with getting out of that one.


Generally college classes are doing the weekdays, there may or may not be Saturday classes. Though, they are usually avoidable.
Reply:thats called relationship hardship and u are in the wrong section......jez besides..this is what we often called, long distance relationship...


u can only talk on the phones and meet during the holidays..and not trying to inform you the bad news but college can be a place you will be grown up and you maybe have second thoughts after you are in college...(no matter community college or universities)


if u intend to go to the same school, u can choose to live together or not.





how to support each other, by no means, u will have no time to study if u work too much, my suggestion is go to the community college...its too hard for u guys have no funds to study in college...seriously...community college is more flexible and less expensive.





yes weekends are off, however, there are classes offer to other students who can study in the weekends (like community colleges offer that) but generally, no college will have classes during the weekend. No schools on weekend if u are in State Universities or any other 4 year regular college. But they do have online courses, evening sections.








*take care.

As for your problem (no judgements):


If you really want to stay together through college, then I would advise you to pick a college and for him to follow where you go. Trade schools are generally all the same, but that's not the case with colleges.


Get an apartment together if you can (some colleges require you to live in dorms the first year) and get jobs. Generally your freshman and sophomore years are easy. You'll have an easy schedule and plenty of time to work nights and weekends. I'm a junior in Biology now and I've worked the whole time and kept up a 3.0 GPA. Psyc majors have relatively easy schedules because it's in liberal arts.


If you're devoted to your studies you won't make the stupid decision of letting your love life interfere too much. Unless your bf is going to a real college, don't let him talk you into going somewhere you don't want to go.
