Do you think university relationships get a bad reputation, and any advice for those who are in them as well?
K: Yes, I think they get a bad rep, my best advice is ultimately time management, there’s no reason that you can’t enjoy everything you’d like to. It can be hard, but if you can find a good balance between school, friends and your boyfriend, it’s magical.
N: Yes, but same thing as Kayla, you have to balance your time with work, school, friends and space is important, as well as communication.
