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.
