Relationships on campus have become very common such that you cannot walk along the corridors without spotting two lovebirds holding hands and being all romantic. However, most campus relationships don’t last due to the following reasons:Busy schedulesWe all understand that some university courses are more demanding than others. For instance, if your girlfriend/ boyfriend is doing engineering and you are studying actuarial science, it will be hard for the two of you to spend a lot of time together. You both have busy schedules and hence less time to grow your relationship.Petty misunderstandingsCampus life is always full of drama. Misunderstandings in campus relationships are exceptional. The pettiest misunderstanding will make partners split up, part their ways and even dare not cross paths again. Peer pressureDepending on the type of friends you have, your decisions for instance concerning the clothes you wear or the people you date will majorly depend on your friends. Keeping the wrong company of friends will only lead you to lose out on a good relationship.UnpreparednessMany campus students like copying what their friends do. They do what others do and just go with the flow so as not to feel left out. Most campus students get into relationships just because their friends are dating. Such relationships eventually lead to disasters such as unwanted pregnancies or even sexually transmitted infections.DistanceKeeping a long distance relationship while on campus is a tricky affair as a lot happens when one is away from their partner. The distance makes communication to become a burden, and eventually one will opt to date someone who is nearer.DiversityStudents on campus come from different backgrounds. This usually makes it hard for one to settle for one particular lover. Students thus keep jumping from one relationship to the other because there is a wide range of people to choose from.
