Planning University...

No.

I know
OP is being rather delusional

Why do you need another person to make you happy? are you not happy by yourself or do you need to rely on another person?

It's a cute idea, but I think it's a bad one. Don't put your eggs in one basket, make sure your university is right for you rather than your relationship. You could always compromise and make sure the Unis arent far apart I guess, depends how "loved" up you are

I am not as happy alone as I am with him. I don't need another person for happiness but the time we spend together and the feelings he causes me to experience make me happier than most other things in my life. I'm not reliant on him for happiness but if something makes you happy, why get rid of it?

Also in relation to when I said about a future relationship not making me as happy, I just mean that (like most people) I find companionship nice, platonic or romantic, it is just a naive worry that I might not find another person who I connect with as well in the future. It's unlikely but just a worry.

Well you're relying on him for your happiness because you just said you're not as happy when you're alone without him. I think you need to be happy on your own and there isn't a book of rules that state humans need to find a connection with another human so we can be happy?

No, I am simply increasing my happiness when I am with him. I have other sources of happiness too: friends, family, pets, hobbies etc. He is just a prominent source, like most people. Why would anyone be in a relationship if it didn't make them happier than when they weren't with them? I know for a fact my parents, who have been married for 21 years, would be miserable without each other. Humans are sociable creatures, if you feel no desire to connect with other humans that's great for you, but by nature the majority of our species needs interaction from other humans, especially those we care about. It's natural and not at all unusual to crave and want affection and company from others.

My boyfriend and I are both planning to start University in September 2017. We want to do completely different courses, Psychology for me and Music Production/Sound Engineering for him. As you can imagine, these two subjects don't cross over much and so not a huge amount of Universities actually offer both of these courses and the ones that do seem to, more often than not, have the lectures etc in different buildings/campuses often fairly far apart.

Despite this, we are trying to find a University we can both attend and share accommodation somewhere between both our lecture buildings, or something like that. However it is making an already difficult task (choosing a University) significantly more challenging. Not only this, but is going to University/sharing accommodation with your partner even a good idea?

We have been together 8 months and I have been in long term relationships before ours but none have felt this serious or real, he is very much my "first love" or whatever. We spend 3-6 days a week together and usually at least 3-4 nights together each week so we are accustomed to being in each other's presence a lot, so moving in together wouldn't be a huge leap.

My main concerns are:
What if we break up after we have decided to live together and attend the same University and then we are stuck/have to change last minute?
What if we break up half way through the year and have to live together as exes?
Is it realistic to think that a relationship of only 8 months will last until September next year, let alone through University?
- Is it better to accept that we will break apart due to University and focus on which place is right for us as individuals purely down to personal preference, not taking into consideration it's location in relation to the other person?

(We already agreed we couldn't do long distance as he's been cheated on in the past and although he trusts me he says the paranoia would put an unhealthy strain on the relationship and if it got to that point he'd rather we left on a positive note than get to the point where he felt like a controlling maniac and I hated him)

Sorry for the super long post. Does anyone have experience with this or opinions? Good idea? Bad Idea? Pros/cons? Things I'm being oblivious/naive to? I'm just a bit stuck with what to do, any input is welcome. Thanks!!

I think currently my best bet is the simply go on which Uni I like best and if it happens to be one close to him then if we last through first year we could potentially move in together after a year in halls.
