Multimedia Project #2- Part 2

Having a significant in college doesn't have to be a distraction, for some students it can be beneficial but they still face the plethora of potential partners that college brings.

International student Fernanda Nobre from Brazil,  who is new to Michigan University's Campus said that her boyfriend is very understanding about her school work.

"For me, it's good because my boyfriend always helps me and understands when I have to study a lot of have a lot of things to do," said Nobre.

Sergio Polimante, international student also from Brazil said that his girlfriend of seven years, is not a distraction to his studies.

"In my situation, I think my relationship was really good to my studying because if I am with my girlfriend, I won't do a lot of partying or drink a lot," said Polimante.

Nobre and Polimante make it a point to stay faithful to their partners, despite the distance.

Nobre said that even back in Brazil, she and her boyfirend don't live in the same city so it is difficult because she misses him, but she does not take interest in other guys.

"For me, it’s not difficult. Sure sometimes I see guys and I say ‘Oh that’s beautiful. Ok! Bye! I don’t care’ I want just my boyfriend,” said Nobre.

Polimante said, "Yes, it’s difficult. I have to avoid certain situations. In seven years, I have never stayed with another person, just her. I think it’s because I avoid certain situations,"

He said he would rather abstain from certain predicaments that could turn to infidelity than to test his ability to stay faithful and fail.
