Relationships

Students can develop relationships with one or more of their peers. There are two major types, Friendships and Romances, with four levels to each. A large selection of Relationship Items exist for both types, which can be added tp the player's Campus to facilitate

Forming Relationships
Relationships are spontaneously developed by Students, who will then visit a Relationship Item of the appropriate level, assuming one is available. The more times each pair perform this during their time at the the university, the higher a level the relationship will reach, with four potential levels for each type. It is possible for Friendships to subsequently develop into Romances.

Students will not use a Relationship Item simply because they are in proximity with it. For example, if a SU Party is organised, it does not follow that they will use a Dining Table to begin a Romance. On the contrary, Events often distract Students from their spontaneous development of a relationship.

Ending Relationships
If one Student in a relationship drops out or is expelled, the remaining Student will suffer a Pastoral Issue: Unfriended for Friendships, and Pining for Romances. Relationships will not end in any other circumstances, even if one Student graduates before the other.
