Advice: let her do her thing. 1 year is a long time. If you were in her situation, you'd want the freedom to live in the situation and moment - whether that be get hit on by drunken dudes in a bar, or exploring real relationships with someone there.

Just let her do her thing, move on yourself, and see what happens in a years time. Honestly.
