Good luck with that, in a positive way. That sort of thing is the exception to the rule and when it works out it’s awesome! But it’s important you manage expectations to some degree because if you don’t the end of said relationship can be crushing.

College especially is a place that transforms who you are in many ways. It’s not impossible for couples to stay together but as people change so too do their interests and relationships.

Just don’t have your heart set on the goal and simply hope you land there at some point.
