This is something I've been grappling with as well. Although my relationship is not new or fairly new (3 and a half years this week), we're going to wait until we have set a date.
The reason for the relatively long wait? I'm pretty young, and I wanted to see what it was like being a young woman living on her own in the city. I remember there was an episode of "Friends" where Rachel's mom regretted the fact that she went "straight from [her] father's house to the sorority house to [her] husband's house." If you've already experienced life on your own (outside of college!) and a few heartbreaks, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, it really can't hurt to wait.
If the relationship is "worth it," living together can wait--especially if you're very young and the relationship is new.
