Boyfriend and uni
Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and a half now he is absoloutely amazing and i love him so much! We know we want to be together and so applied for some of the same universities. In the end we both decided to put down UWE bristol as our firm choice then i put canterbury as my insurance and he put reading! I am already a bit aprehensive about going to university and leaving everything I know, but now i just keep worrying that he will not get into UWE and i will be goin there alone as the grades he needs are slightly out of his reach but achievable if he tries!! I just dont know wat to do if we are seperated, I know this sounds soo pathetic as i will meet loads of new peopl, but i just want to be with him!!

If you both put the effort in and want it enough, it will work. I know quite a few couples who managed to get through university being miles away from each other... anyway, cross that bridge when it comes to it - no point worrying about it now.
If your boyfriend doesn't achieve the grades, UWE may still let him in and if not, it may be a blessing in disguise - being at different universities will give you both a chance to develop independence and meet new people, and also appreciate the time you get to spend together more.
Just be careful you don't waste away in a relationship while you're missing out on some of the best years of you're life. What if you break up with him at the end of uni? You will feel like you have missed so many opportunities.
I'm in a similar situation though my boyfriend is older and is a fully qualified chef.

To be fair, the distance between UWE and Reading really isn't that much. It would be easy for one of you to hop on a train every once in a while. I recommend you get a young person's railcard if you don't have one already- it is a godsend! 
I've been in a similar position to you (I was at Reading, my boyfriend was at Nottingham), and I know it's hard, but if you are both determined it will work. You'll realise just how much he means to you, and if the relationship is worth saving don't forget you have almost half the year as holiday anyway! Yes you will miss him, but (even if you don't feel like it) socialise with your new friends as much as you can rather than shutting yourself in your room and it will be much easier (plus you'll have more fun).
