Relationships in college? Some would agree that they are okay and  possibly even beneficial. Many on the other side would agree that relationships in college are not a good idea. I wouldn't entirely be able to say much based on the fact that I have no clue what It'd be like. However, I do have some insight that has been shared by several of my college friends. Take in mind that I'm primarily talking about relationships entering college (i.e freshman year).

The number one reason many college students decide to stay single is because they want to mingle with whom ever they want. Freshman year of college, many 18 year olds are coming together and getting to know so many knew faces and flirting with pretty much everyone. Being in a relationship limits this opportunity of expanding your circle of friends. Although many would argue that they would never limit their significant other in such a way, being surrounded by a large sum of people of the opposite sex can create problems in a relationship during college.

Another reason is that focusing on school, your relationship, and friends seems like alot to be able to handle. Many students can say that trying to balance school and a relationship seemed almost impossible. However, there are those super humans who seem to handle everything just fine. Unless you are that person, maybe a relationship during college seems like a bad idea.

Most importantly, a relationship during college pretty much ties you down from participating in a good freshman year of college experience. You feel tied down and constantly worry about keeping your boyfriend/girlfriend happy. Plus, I feel freshman year is not a year to be serious. I feel its a year to have fun. There is much more time in life to start getting serious such as in relationships.

Although relationships in college don't seem like a good idea to me, it is possible that a relationship could be just the opposite. It just depends on the person and what they prefer.
