Pick a college first. Then look into their housing options for freshmen. If you can't live with your girlfriend freshman year, get over it.
There's a high probability that you're going to break up before you graduate anyway.
I knew there were going to be dissident replies, and that's fine.
Living together freshman year isn't necessary, and we probably will just "get over it", as I doubt either of us would want to get married so early.
Yes, choosing a college we can both go to is an important factor. Going to different colleges is almost a definite death wish on any relationship. Our college resumes are similar, so hopefully we can both get into the same one.
Rooming isn't that great of a factor, as it will only be a small portion of our life. However, I still take it into consideration, even if the consideration is minor.
Also I agree that the probability of high school couples staying together through college is low, but I'm willing to bet on it. The stakes, as I said earlier, are a cookie, but I get to choose the type if I lose.

You sound alot like me man. Honestly, I would simply ignore most of the people telling you you're going to break up eventually anyways. Is that the truth? Perhaps so. But that is the problem with people nowadays. They go into relationships believing its never going to last anyways. Such high degrees of foolishness from perceived elders. They doom themselves and don't even realise it.

Dear OP,
Do you really only want to live your whole life with only knowing what one vagina feels like?
Love,

We changed enough over the past four years. I'm willing to bet we'll survive over the beginning of college.
We're not you're average couple
If we do break up, however, I'll mail you a cookie.

I know living in a dorm with strangers is supposed to be a good, eye-opening experience that grants new friendships, but screw new friends.
Any feedback for this lame rant?

I agree. And even if you do stay blissfully happy together, that's still not the attitude you want to have going into college. Making friends is one of the cornerstones of the college experience. In some ways I might say it's paramount. Five years after college you might not be doing anything related to your education, but the friends you make in college are likely to be the ones you have for life...it gets hard to do that when you enter the real world.
Don't go into college with such a closed mind...I guarantee you will regret it.
That's not always true. If he happens to be as mature as he thinks he is, having a strong committed relationship, and willing to discuss issues on almost mature sites like ATOT instead of MySpace, using decent grammer and without reverting to el33t spe4k, he may not make any friends in college, as most all college age people are immature beer worshipping retards without a clue. Not the kind of people he would want to associate with.

Me and my girlfriend have been together for almost 4 years, and we plan on attending the same college. However, while researching housing at potential colleges, we noticed that a lot, if not most, colleges require you to live on campus as a freshman. Also, many of the housing options, such as single rooms or apartments, seem to be not allowed for freshman.
The problem is that my girlfriend and I really wanted to live together, whether it be on or off campus. Even if we couldn't live together, we would prefer some kind of private residence as we are both very...picky i guess.. about roommates/living conditions.
Is our dream of leaving together a hopeless cause? Answers seem to be hard to find as only vague statements appear to be shown on many college websites. So I turn to you ATOT. Enlighten me!
Are there no co-ed housing utilities? I know there are co-ed halls with same sex rooming, but that doesn't qualify . Are we both doomed to room with some random person we don't know for at least the first year of college?

I'm trying to say this as politely as possible.
Your relationship is doomed to fail... despite what you think you know about life, that's ALL about to change.
