It doesn't bother that badly, it's not really the age difference, more like the locations.
I'm still not getting the "location" issue. When you date, you won't be going to HS events, you'll be going to movies, concerts, whatever. She can hang out with you on campus on weekends. No one would know she's in HS. I really don't get this. It's not that unusual for HS students to have friends in college, even boyfriend/girlfriend. What exactly are you envisioning, that's causing you discomfort?
It's ok. Men generally prefer younger, more fertile women.

We're both right. Consciously, OP likely does not want to want to get his 17 year old girlfriend pregnant. But the potential for her fertility probably is a part of her attractiveness to him on a subconscious level. There's a reason that the OP has chosen to pursue relationships with 17 year olds instead of 50 year olds.
My comment is about a relationship between a 26 year old man and an 18 year old woman as these are colleagues of the OP. There is a relationship between age and fertility. Potential for fertility is a factor in perceived attraction, especially in male attraction to females. For a 26 year old man, an 18 year old provides a longer fertility window than a 22-26 year old woman, even though both options are solid options as the difference in potential fertility in those examples in the present moment is essentially negligible.
So I’m an 18 year old HS senior and I have a girlfriend who’s 17 years old and she’s a junior. Next year I’ll be a college freshman and she’ll be a senior and the college is close to her. We are quite happy together but I wonder should I continue this relationship with her next year. Seeing as I’m in college, I don’t want to be seen as the creepy guy lurking around HS. It’s just a year difference but still, what should I do? In my grade right now, there’s an 18 year old girl going out with a 26 year old, which everyone agrees is pretty weird and I don’t want to be seen like that guy.
If you want to continue then do so, if not then don't. You know yourself and this girl so you would be the only one who can answer this question for yourself.
OP, you said you and your gf are "quite happy together", so why are you looking for odd reasons or "considering factors" to break up? How would you explain your reason to your gf? It makes no sense. If you're happy, stay happy. Why throw that away?

I would not try to go to college and have a long-distance GF.
Your whole world is about to open up. No need to set limits.
I tried that. I had gone with the girl for two years in h.s., she was from the same town but commuted to a R.C. school. She was one year younger.
It lasted for two years after I went to college, but by that time my life at college had changed my mind about our relationship.
