People have found love and new dating partners in various locations. But how about finding one on the same place where you eat, study, work and even sleep? There’s potential of small arguments turning into public fights that can ruin your reputation. But the convenience can help make relationships stronger because there are so many opportunities for couples to meet up with each other. I ask two students whether dating on campus is worth it or not:

I think campus is a great place for people to meat up and hook up! It’s better than high school. Most of us are more mature and have some experience in dating already. College is usually where most people have their  first serious relationships. Having the person that you like live or attend the same college with you makes things easier because you have more things in common and better opportunities to meet up.  The only downside is if things don’t work out than you probably have to see that person a few times a week and if you past by each other in breezeway, things can get awkward. So I think people need to be cautious in how they break up because nobody wants to keep avoiding people in between classes. Also don’t tell to many people that you and a classmate are dating because the last thing you want is other people’s opinions in your relationships. There needs to be a standard in who and where you going to share information about your private life.

I like the idea of dating other people in campus. You have a lot of options. Cuter and taller ones. Our classes are full of them! But I personally don’t advise anyone dating someone in their classes because it can be really awkward if a hookup goes wrong or someone doesn’t share similar feelings. If you live on campus, than dating on is a good option but if you commute to school than dating off shouldn’t be off your list. You can meet so many different people outside of school who could be better dating partners. There’s less drama in it because you would most likely not run into each other at school and there isn’t social circles that can be interrupted after a break up. But whatever you choose, I say go for it. College is where we finally get to start our adult lives so these relationships are going to be different than ones in high school. They are more serious and they need more work in order to grow.
