That was a decision we made, too. Our 3rd had the first out of state boyfriend, but sleeping arrangements were a little easier since her bedroom at home is in the attic, technically 2 room with a bed and a futon. Last summer my 23, 22 and 19 year old had their SO’s come in vacation with us plus my sister and her teens, plus my 17 year olds, the couples has their own bedrooms. My 20 year old started dating her boyfriend fall of freshman year, same dorm, met at orientation, and like all college relationships, including platonic, they got close faster than if they were in a dating situation outside of college. I’ve liked every person my adult children have dated, but don’t treat it like a marriage (my 23 year old’s girlfriend broke up with him a week after graduation after 2 1/2 years of dating). Even though they were in college 1 1/2 hours away, her parents lived 20 minutes from us so she didn’t stay much.
