Living couples life or Campus Cohabitation is a very common trend among students in the higher institutions.
It is a practice which involves students of opposite sex that are not officially married but live in an apartment off-campus as husband and wife.
Couple's life as this practice is seen among students allows undergraduates in a relationship to do every thing together as if they are legally married.
This, although has been argued, could help the students to understand themselves if they enventually get married.

Well, this could be true as stories of couples on campus who end up getting married abound, this is not a practice that should be encouraged as this can damage the academic carrier of the so-called couple.
Essentially, the most stories of campus cohabitation are usually related ( tied) to accommodation issues female students usually face when they admitted into a university or polytechnic, where there are insufficient hostels for freshers.
The needs to resolve accommodation problem is more likely the reason fresh female students on campus decide to scout with a male student in his apartment with the hope that when he graduates, the apartment will belong to them.
Usually, this is the narrative that results to campus cohabitation. A new female student has problems related to accommodation and a male staylite solves the problem, ....and the relationship starts.

Moreso, the probability of campus cohabitation leading to marriage is not certain and here are some reasons why you should not consider cohabiting with a male on campus.
Playing the wife's role
Campus cohabitation can retard your academic dreams when you decide to play the wife's role because you just want to please your partner. Your academic performance will surely suffer if you choose to be the one who prepares food, cleans the room and washes his clothes while your lover sprawls his legs and moves all about.Unwanted Pregnancy
Sex plays a key role in the life of campus couples and when this results to an unwanted pregnancy, the wife will be more affected than the guy.Emotional Trauma
As stated earlier, cohabiting doesn't guarantee marriage. In fact, it is not certain that your partner can wake up one day and say he is tired of the relationship.

In another instance, if you live with a violent guy, you might end up becoming his punch bag, and if a guy also finds himself living with a nagging female student, she might stifle life out of him. In the future, their academic pursuit will be responsible for the brunt when emotional trauma sets in.
