The long term high school relation will generally fail after one or two years. However, this will put you in a better position than all those of your classmates who immediately got wifed with some upperclassman/entry mate within the first semester because you'll have much better friends. Regardless of who you're dating, don't ignore your friends for your relationship.
Long distance relationships are can be troublesome. Avoid , and some people would suggest that you avoid them at all costcosts. Your interest in the other person will fade because you won't have time They generally only work when both parties are really committed to think about him/her and all the things you like about being with him/her because you won't actually be with them. Long distance relationships are tempting, but relationship; they pretty much invariably don't do it. Don't date someone at home while work if you're abroad, the results will be <i>disastrous</i>more attracted to your S.O. Even if you're happy at school, leave it while you're away and come back when you returns hot body than to their witty banter.
On If at all possible, avoid getting involved (whether in a relationship or simply a casual hook-up) with one of your entrymates ("entry incest") or, God forbid, someone in your a capella group. Imagine spending two or three years having to sing cheerfully next to someone you went through a nasty breakup with, and you'll understand why. Unless you're really, really sure that that notenasty breakup won't ever happen, it's probably not worth it. And don't feel obligated to actually be in a relationship while here. While some people feel the need to "pretend" to be happy being single, it really does provide freedom and entertainment for extended periods of time.
The Boston Globe ran an article about Williams relationships [http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2004/02/09/for_dateless_on_campus_idea_clicks/ here]. An excerpt: ''At Williams, the refrain is that everyone is either "married" -- inseparable from their significant other -- or prone to "hook up" with people in casual, usually drunken, encounters. Or they have no love life at all.''
