Deciding which college to attend based on where the person you’re dating is going doesn’t ~always~ end in disaster. But recently, when I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their own stories of what happened after they followed their high school significant other to college, the majority of people responded with worst-case-scenario breakup stories.

Here's what they had to say:1."About a week before application deadlines, I changed my plans of going to my family’s ‘legacy’ university to following my S.O. to the local state school. My parents didn’t even visit the campus with me — my mom was just so smitten with the idea of me following my ‘love’ that she didn’t think there was any reason to see the school. (Thanks for teaching me what’s important, Mom!) He and I signed up for the same dorm and the same orientation weekend. He promptly dumped me at orientation, refused to speak to me when we got to campus, and avoided eye contact when passing me on campus for four years.

2."My high school sweetheart was an average student with no real plans for college, while I was in the top 10% of my class. I could go anywhere in the state, and he couldn't. Goofy, smitten me thought we would be together forever, so I settled for the local four-year college that had no football team (in Texas ffs) and was mostly a commuter school because that's where he got accepted. I ended up breaking up with him a week after high school graduation, and I was stuck.

3."He committed to a school for a sports scholarship, and I committed to the rival school with a scholarship for the same sport. Since it was only a 15-minute drive between our campuses, we thought we could stay together, but also have a little space. He gave me a promise ring before school, but I sold it after he cheated on me four months into freshman year. We had been together four years. I still had to compete against him once a year. My team beat his every time. :)"

4."A girl I went to high school with followed her boyfriend of less than a year to a ridiculously expensive college in a town she didn't even like because she was convinced 'it was true love.' He dumped her by December, she failed out of the university by the end of the school year, and she had to come back home to go to a community college. Obviously, there's nothing wrong with community colleges at all, but prior to college, she kept talking about how 'worthless' they were."

5."I started dating my ex during our senior year of high school. He came with me to the college nearby, but we broke up about six months later. He ended up transferring to another school a couple of hours away. We eventually got back together, and he convinced me to transfer over to his school and move into the same complex as him. On my drive down to move in, we were on the phone, and he said, 'I don’t know if I want to keep dating you.'
