Basically what the title says. We’ve been together a little under two years. We have the basic bickering that every relationship has and some slight issues from our past but nothing toxic. But I’m going to college 8 hrs away while he’s staying in my hometown, and I’m going to a school with pretty big Greek life where I’m joining a sorority. Just wanted to know thoughts bc I really love him and see a future with him I just want to know if it’s realistic
Tl;dr – is it possible to have a ldr while in college in a sorority and really young?

TBH if you don’t break up with him before school you’ll break up with him once you are there. At 18 it’s hard to maintain a long distance relationship when experiencing new environments and temptations.
Go experience the college life, have fun, be safe, find your tribe. Date if you want, have casual sex if you want… or don’t. But don’t let the idea of dishonoring or upsetting your high school boyfriend back at home whom you won’t see the entire semester govern your life.
It’s college! Enjoy it.
Maybe you two will grow and mature and find your way back to one another in the future but if not, that’s OK.
Plenty of people make LDR’s work but when the distance is due to attending different universities it typically falls apart pretty quickly. You need to decide what kind of college experience you really want to have and whether a far-away partner fits your vision.
Worst-case scenario is that you stay together and one or both of you end up cheating. You don’t want to hurt each other in that way. There’s no coming back from that.
You have a better chance of breaking up for the duration of college and then reuniting in the future, than the chance of your relationship surviving infidelity (or the suspicion of infidelity).
