He is going to graduate school next fall in the area, though, and is looking for an apartment near my school so we can still spend lots of time together.

We found a great two bedroom apartment that is right on my undergrad campus! Literally, it is across the street from my sorority house. I'm wondering if I should move in with him.

Last semester, my roommate went abroad and I was assigned a random person to live with. She was unbearable, so I escaped and spent EVERY NIGHT with my boyfriend in his dorm. This period of living together was a dream, no problems at all.

One of the biggest issues I had then, though, was the ridicule I faced from my sorority sisters and friends. They thought we were too young and it was improper to live together. Moving in with my boyfriend now seems like a great opportunity! But I'm worried if it really is an improper thing to do? Like I said he's right for me, but we're not going to get engaged or married any time soon. Am I too young?

Please help!!!

The only reason that you're questioning this is because of what other people think.

I say that if the two of you are happy, and you believe this is the right decision for you, do it.

The end.
