[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please try to talk him out of that.  This will be a missed opportunity for BOTH of them to experience college on their own and grow both emotionally and maturity-wise if they are at the same school.  I am speaking from experience.  
Like PP said, they become obstacles for each other.  I feel my son's college experience would have been much richer if his GF had not decided to go to same college as him.  He had already committed before her and then she got off the waitlist.[/quote]

OP here, and I know!! DH and I actually started dating in college, but we were not in the same state. We went to different grad schools as well and only physically ended up in the same place when we started working. DS is very stubborn so I have to approach this carefully and will try my best to dissuade him.[/quote]

Same poster from above....I will also add that 4 hours is not that far away.  I also decided to go out of state for college where my HS BF was going.  Some would say that I "followed" him to college.  However, we were at separate schools about 3 hours from each other.  And it was a good thing because we broke up at the end of our freshman year.  Everyone back at home thought for sure I would transfer to a school back up north.  I stayed because I made many friends that first year and enjoyed my college.  But that may not have been the case if we were at the same school.  That would have been VERY hard![/quote]
