I am still curious how long you two have been together. It's been asked several times, but never answered. The reason I ask is that living together is hard! Especially if you have never been on your own before. Personally, I have been on my own for several years, but it was still a huge adjustment moving in with my SO. Now I'm not saying you'll regret it. I'm only a few years older than you and although those years are huge, influential years that really teach you how to be an adult, I feel that I made the right decision moving in with my SO. You could have the same experience that I have had. If that is the case, then good for you! You are light years ahead of others your age. However, moving in with ANYONE changes your relationship. I have had plenty of friendships tested because we just aren't compatible roommates. Romantic relationships are no different. It is surely a test and if your relationship isn't strong enough to handle it yet (after 1.5 years, we are just barely at this stage that we are a strong enough couple to get through the challenges) then it will most definitely fall apart.

After the left the site, I couldn't help but still think about this thread. I think I realized what has been bothering me about this the most. It isn't that you're moving to another state to go to school and be with your boyfriend. It isn't that you're young. It is that you are moving in with your boyfriend. Nothing wrong with the decision in general, but you're going to a university! If there are dorms on campus, I highly, highly recommend that you take advantage of the opportunity. They are expensive, and tiny, and you get zero privacy, but they were the best two years of my life. I complained about them the whole time and pined for my own apartment and my own room, but I regret not staying one more year. I made some of my best friends in dorms. You have no choice but to see people and be social and have a life other than your boyfriend. It is incredibly easy to seclude yourself from others other than your SO when you are living in a dorm, but about 100% worse when you are living with your SO. So, my worldly advice to you is this: LIVE IN A DORM! It'll be the best and worst year of your life. Moving to another state and not knowing anyone else except for through classes are setting you up for failure. If after that year you still want to move in with him then all the more power to you, but do yourself this favor!Comment

But have you applied yet? Most universities have application deadlines around this time. When it comes to colleges it's not really about taking time to think things through. Even if you plan on moving this summer the universities around there may have already reached their deadlines.Comment
