Method and Procedure The project of this paper uses the form of the questionnaire.In this questionnaire, we design 12 questions involves an aspect about the relationship between love and study.From these questions, we can know about students’ attitudes towards the campus love.
A total of 30 individuals participate in the survey.They are all from oversea students in Glasgow University.Although the number of people involving this survey is small, they are covering different gender, different ages, it still can stand for some point of view.If time permits we can design more questions in this questionnaire and find more students to join in this investigation.

Discuion
According to the result,the majority of students (both male and female) appear to think that falling in love on campus will affect study to some degree, which can be explained by several poible reasons.In the first place, studying with the boyfriend\\girlfriend may cause a distraction and thus decrease the learning efficiency.A second poibility is that most students who are in love cannot reasonably and effectively balance the time between date and study.Moreover, as for some vulnerable students,if they break up with someone, it may increase the likelihood to produce a poor academic performance.
In this survey , the number of subjects who have the campus love experiences is limited.If more students who have love experiences can be investigated, the data will be more accurate and objective.
Conclusion
To conclude, this project aimed to explore the relationship between love and study on campus and compare the male and female students’ attitudes towards campus love.Both male and female students(73% totally) think that falling in love will affect study ,but if students who are in love can effectively distribute their time and energy, love and study are not mutually exclusive.In future studies,the topic of how to manage the time between love and study may provide the supplementary information for our survey.
