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 chuckled and became claustrophobic.

If GC opinions matter:

I don't recommend someone your age moving in with a significant other. If you want to spend an obsessive amount of time together and pretend as though you won't eventually get on each other's nerves, that's fine. But do that while keeping your own living spaces so you can go home if you want to. That's my recommendation as a 30+ person who believes that living with your significant other should not be treated as a hobby or as a regular roommate situation.

I also hated having a roommate and haven't had one since my first year of college.

Also, keep in mind that living together decreases the likelihood that you will get married but increases the likelihood of pregnancy (if you two are fertile). If the probability of those things matter to you, think about it. Everyone thinks they are abooooove the influence and not like everyone else. Yet the statistics apply to more than enough people.
