His GF will be going there. Wouldn't be the first guy to chase their HS GF off to college.

Such a bad idea.

When I read your post, I was thinking about the Princeton alum who advocated that Princeton coeds target Princeton men for future husband material.  When I read her screed, I immediately contacted my older son, who was a 21 year old junior there with a serious girlfriend.  I gave him the second "Birds and the Bees" talk; e.g., how to handle it when you're young-but-mature girlfriend gives you the "Fish-or-cut-bait" speech.  He rolled his eyes, and said "Dad, she doesn't even think in those terms."

Two months later, he called me and thanked me and said he would have been totally blindsided if I hadn't had the conversation with him to prepare him to handle it.
