Your naivety is overwhelming. You know, room with her and update this thread in a few months. I think it ought to be pretty entertaining.

I have to say the more i go on in life i have realised that an argument in a relationship every now and again isn't a bad thing. It stops it from becomming stale and keeps the spark there a bit more.
Am still living in an apartment with my girlfriend, things work out great. Be sure to keep a tally of the expenses.
If you like someone, then it's very likely that you'll spend most of your time with them either at your place, their place, or somewhere else, right? What's the point in renting out 2 apartments if you're only going to use one?
Get a 2-bedroom, it's nice to have the extra room

My bf and I have been together for three and a half years, are planning on getting married, and currently live together in a rented house off campus with a few other people. We lived in the dorms for a few years first, and I ended up spending most of my time in his single room (so much so that I was considered to be a member of his dorm by the RA).
Living together has been a good experience for us so far, but we have been together much longer than you and your gf. Is this her first year of college? People often change during their first year or two of college, and I've known of many steady couples who broke up a few months after starting college (even at the same college) because of the changes.
My bf's parents were very opposed to the idea of he and I living together when we first suggested it a couple years ago (my parents were perfectly fine with it), but after we'd been together longer, they didn't really seem to mind as much. Maybe try living separately for a year (and not confining yourself to staying the same) and plan on living together the next year if everything works out.
Good luck with whatever happens.
Edit: I also think it's kind of important that if you do live together that you not spend all of your time together. Most of the time, my bf and I go on doing our separate things, and we're fine not constantly needing the other's attention. Make sure you can get to that point before you move in with someone or you could get really sick of them really fast. (*Listens to Yoyo typing a post in the background*)

you've been together a year, and your in school and she isn't? So she's positively going to the same school you are? Hrm...I think for her first year this is a bad idea. She needs to experience dorm life, meet new friends and make sure she's comfortable. Otherwise she'll always be with "well what if this"
cool that you share hobbies...my g/f plays halo2, and autocrosses with me, is into most of the same hobbies i am and we have our fun.
BUT the general rule that I have found is that if you are not having an argument (or disagreement) about SOMETHING every now and then, something isn't right in your relationship. I'm not saying you have to pick something to fight about, and you should most definitely not sweat the small stuff because really in the end it doesnt matter at all.
Arguments, to a certain extent are healthy for a relationship because it encourages you to discuss things between each other that you may not have known.

Dear heavens, reality will fall quite heavily on you... _Never_ marry someone eith whom you haven't had a knock-down, drag-out fight. It _will_ happen eventually. If you've been fake enough to avoid it so far, then there are things you are not dealing with.

This is a pressure cooker situation. If you're together under one roof when the pressure is relieved, it is going to make for an interesting read.
Marked for the inevitable.

I'd have to agree here.
Although the odds are that it won't work out. You can find out early if you'd be able to live with this person for the rest of your life.
I don't know that I agree with that. My bf and I are both pretty mellow and we have disagreements and sometimes argue, but we've never had an all out fight, and I can't see it happening. We're too good at being grown up and talking about our problems, I guess.
Yes, but i STRONGLY recommend against it... so do all my friends, date the girl for OVER a year at least IN college.
i did it.. we moved in together lived together for a year, she went to her parents for the summer i went to mine.. had signed a new lease.. only got half way through the summer before we parted ways.. but it did work out alright the first year we lived togther.. had a lot of fun.. but we were both young and crazy.. :beer:
even so, i DON'T reccomend it.. i'm pretty sure its what ended the relationship anyway.. who knows woman are nuts :evil:

man, that's a horrible idea to room with your gf. if you are living with your gf and somehow you or your gf break up, what are you going to do with the room you two are sharing?
now that's not an innovation to live with gf.
