Many different types of relationships can develop while in college. Many people find themselves in new and exciting relationships, some of which they may not have experienced before. Three main types of relationships can form while in college: casual, committed, and sexual. Casual relationships are typically based on convenience and are not generally severe. These relationships usually involve two friends and spend time together casually.

There are many types of college relationships. For example, you may be in a relationship with your roommate, a friend from class, or someone you met at a party. No matter what type of relationship you have, it is essential to be respectful and considerate.

 

Types Of College Relationships

 

Friendzone

When we think of college relationships, the first thing that comes to mind is usually a young couple in love. But, that’s not always the case. College relationships come in all shapes and sizes. Some couples are madly in love and can’t keep their hands off each other. Some couples are just friends. But, then, there are the dreaded friendzones. So, what are the different types of college relationships? There are all sorts of different college relationships.

 

Friends With Benefits

Though many people frown upon the idea of college relationships, they are more common than one might think. And though there are many different types of college relationships, the most popular by far is friends with benefits (FWB) relationship. In this type of relationship, two friends agree to have a sexual relationship without strings attached. Both parties typically have the same understanding of what is expected from the relationship, and there are usually no feelings involved on either side.

 

Talking

Relationships in college can be many things: fun, exciting, new, and different. But one thing that all relationships have in common is communication. Whether you are in a new relationship or have been together for years, talking is key to ensuring that both people are happy and getting what they need out of the relationship. Of course, different types of relationships require different types of communication, but some basic principles always apply.

 

Exclusive

There are many types of college relationships. Some people in college are in relationships where they are exclusively dating one person, while others are in relationships where they are dating multiple people at the same time. Finally, some people are not in any relationship. Each person’s experience in college is unique and different, and there is no right or wrong way to be in a relationship.

 

Dating

There are all sorts of different relationships in college. Of course, you have the standard ones like dating, going out, and hooking up. But you also have more unique relationships like being friends with benefits, roommates with benefits, and study buddies. No matter what type of relationship you’re in, it can be a lot of fun if you’re with the right person.

 

Exes

No one knows what they’re doing when they enter into a relationship in college. This is their first time being truly independent and on their own for many people. And with that independence comes the opportunity to explore different types of relationships. There are the people who rush into relationships and those who take things slow. Some are looking for a serious relationship and want to have fun.

 

Open relationship

A study by the University of Montana found that open relationships are becoming increasingly popular among college students. There are many different types of open relationships, but they all have one common goal: to maintain a sense of openness and honesty while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional monogamy. Some couples choose to have an open relationship simply because they don’t want to be monogamous, while others use it to deal with infidelity or boredom.

 

Others

Every college has a different kind of relationship. For example, some colleges have relationships with other colleges, while others have relationships with businesses. In addition, some colleges have relationships with the government.
