College Plans, Could You Give Me Your Opinions?

My boyfriend and I are both going to college after this summer, and we’ll have been dating for a year by then. We aren’t perfect, and we fight often, but we can never stay mad at each other which makes me believe that we are a strong couple and we love each other. He is deciding on whether to go out of state of go to the same college that I am attending. We’ve talked about it multiple times but we always end up where we started. We have talked about long distance and he is unsure about this. I’m a little unsure too because I was dumped a year or so over a web cam after dating my ex for a year and a couple of months, I’m pretty sure that my ex was my first love so it was pretty heartbreaking. I just want to hear other people’s experiences and opinions on long distance and going to the same college as your high school sweetheart.
Thanks.
