Going to campus means entering a new chapter of life. It's a stage of self-reliance and self-discovery. We do not only study and experience a new environment, but we also enter into new relationships that can either be platonic or romantic.

While campus relationships are normal, many students get into relationships to go with the flow and not to feel left out. This is common, especially with freshmen who are easily swayed into intimate relationships in the name of experiencing new things.
