There is no mystery to our relationship and I miss living with my girlfriends. However as unhappy as I am with the living arrangment, I did not have to drop out and I am less stressed about money (which seriously affected my grades because I used to work 2 jobs, 5-6 days a week to pay off my tuiton balance) So you have to weigh the consequences. I know my relationship is kinda blah now, but at least I'll be graduating with 15K less debt and I can focus on my schoolwork because I'm not always working. I didn't go to college to meet my husband, I went to get an education. If the means justify the ends, go for it.

Anyway, I agree with Lauren, moving in together for financial reasons ONLY is a really bad idea, especially when you consider that one of the major causes for breakups is financial reasons. If you do move in with someone to cut costs, make sure you really want to be with that person, otherwise you can basically say good bye to your relationship. Living with someone you know you love is awesome (you will deal with their little quirks out of love), living with someone you thought you maybe sorta could see yourself with is, not so great. So just make sure before you take the plunge.

Moving in before marriage is not allowed in society. What happens if a couple has sex when they are living together before they are married? That is not allowed.

If you're not sure you could end up homeless when you start hating each other and break up in a few months. Savor your independence as long as you can!
