More uni 2nd yr accommodation problems

My new uni friends have asked me to share a house with them (All girls) I really would like a mixed house.

My boyfriend of 2 yrs in the same uni (both first yrs) have always said we would share together but we can't find a mixed flat and the girls don't really want to share with him as well as myself.

what do I do? I don't want to be just us two as he will be on a yr out next yr, but I would feel really gui;lty if I now just went off with my new mates into a house as he really is my best friend and I realise everything can change from now until sept. As I said I would like a mixed house but we don't know anyone should we like advertse for 2 other blokes and girls? oe what

Any help appreciated as it keeps going round in my head, I really do love my boyfriend but people keep saying whay if you break up, what do people advise and if people have shared with their boyfriends in the 2nd yr how has it been?

it's up to you but I personally wouldn't want to move in with a partner whilst at uni, it would be too much of a distraction from work and I would want my own space, if your living together it's hard to say you want your own space without offending them and there is the obvious disadvantage in that your living with them if you ever break up and then that has a knock on effect on the other housemates as there will be an atmosphere in the house e.t.c. e.t.c.
I would hate to live in a house with a couple, watching them all over each other and stuff but thats just me

I wouldnt want to live in a house with a couple either to be honest. So I can see where that view point would come from.

I live with one couple and i dunno sometimes it's okay but others i don't like it. For example they seem to spend a lot of their time together in eachothers rooms, so you never really see them. Also if you want to talk to one of them you have to make sure they're not 'busy' and i always feel akward shouting for one when one of their doors is shut (i.e. both of them in the room)

It could be a good thing living with your bf and financially it would work since you have student loans etc, only you can decide that, if the relationship breaks down then you will only have to stay until the end of the school term or whatever and if he goes on placement then you can move in with friends for final year or whatever, whats to say you would necessarily enjoy living with these girls if you haven't already done so.

thats the thing I worry about too as generally I don't get on with all girls all the time you know how girls are and I do love my bf lots and he is my best friend, but I think we would have trouble finding people to share with.

i love my girlfriend etc etc., but no way are we sharing a house next year. we've been going out roughly the same amount of time as you have and the way i figure it is, why rush it? if you both truely love each other, you'll make time to see each other and will still have the same feelings as ever.

when you've finished uni, live together then. i just feel you need your own space at uni, a place when you're growing up as a person.
