Relationship & Ivy League?

Most top colleges do require freshman to live on-campus.

Moreover, you really should, and you really should want to. A lot of bond formation and the experience happens in the residence halls at elite colleges.

I married my high school sweetheart, so I know how it is. But really, being too attached/into your high school boyfriend/girlfriend can prevent you from integrating and really having a full experience at your college. It’s one of my few regrets from college - not having a boyfriend from high school, but being far too invested in my relationship and too eager to grow up to the point that I let it interfere with my own socioemotional development and non-romantic friendship formation in college.

Bluntly put, you have many years to be an adult - living with your partner, dealing with mundane life/relationship stuff. College is a very short and unique time in which you have few responsibilities and a lot of freedom and opportunity. Take advantage of it. Plan to live on campus and visit your girlfriend on breaks and weekends or whatever else. If you guys stay together, you can always live together after college.
