My boyfriend of two years and I will be attending the same college next year. I'd like to live on campus because of price (and my parents will probabley pay some of it if I live on campus). I also really want to live with my boyfriend. Is it possible to live on campus with him if we're not married. How EXACTLY does coed housing work.... a little bit of help would be wonderful. Thanks.

Why is everyone being CRAZY about this...I didn't ask advice about my personal life.. I've always been very serious about my education...high school has been A's in AP classes... and having this boyfriend. I don't own him. We have a very healthy relationship. I don't plan on going to school to define myself. I plan on going to get an education. I already know who I am and I already know that I want him to be a part of my life. Please accept this and adress the question I asked.

It really depends on the college.
At some colleges, this will be impossible. At others, it might be possible.
Call your college's housing office. It's the only way for you to get the right answer to your question.

I agree with what navigate and slider said. College is all about learning who you are. And you can't do that if you're living with your boyfriend. You're still young, don't completely block everything all out now. College is all about new experiences.
That being said, co ed housing (dorms) mean both sexes living in the same building, but roommates are of the same sex. You're not going to find a college that will let you live with your boyfriend on their property unless you're married. And frankly, I'm not sure that you should. Especially right away.

As far as I know, no. There is no University that will let you do that, and the person incharge of your floor will make sure your bf doesn't live in your room. The best deal you could get is to live on the same floor and he might have the room next to you, but other than that, you are out of luck. Married couples, in graduate school, can get special housing, but that doesn't apply to you.

Co-ed dorms are generally boys on one floor, girls on another. Sometimes if the dorm has suites they will put boys and girls on the same floor. No, they are not going to let you room together. If one of you gets a single room and you are discrete, you could probably get away with spending most of your time in one room. The colleges are used to this and they know that a lot changes during this time of life, including relationships.
Please be considerate of your roommate(s) with this issue! This is one of the biggest causes of friction. Find a way to do this without making your roommates deal with the more intimate parts of your relationship.

IMHO...
Don't mix school and love. Get your own room. At least in my school, you were able to go into any building at any time, as long as you were a student (except dorms, which you could go into any of them if you lived on campus).
You can always go to his room (or he to your room). That way if you break up, it won't be a completely screwed up situation.
I know it is terrible to say, but chances are you two will not be together by the time you finish college. You'll be going through a time where you have to encounter more changes than you have ever experienced. Love tends to drift. You meet new and different people.
I honestly wish you two the best, but keep it seperate in case the unthinkable happens.

What the professor up there said is right, however i don't know of many campuses that let couples live together that aren't married.

Don't you want to define yourself first? Or is your definition of you simply a part of him? That's not partnership, that's ownership. He's the owner, you are the property. Be a partner. It works better in the end...really.

you can get the same building if you pick a specific kind like a multicultural building, but not the same room

How about thinking of your education instead of your hormones?
