well basically try and make an effort to talk everyday, through texts or something or on the internet, and try your best to see each other as much as possible then things should work out ok.
good luck

assuming that both of you have licences and a car, you could eaisily drive the short 30 minutes to see each other. i am pretty sure that i will work out fine. and 30 is NOT that long. the girl i like lives 2 hours away but that is nothing compared to a couples of others' long distance relationships on here, that live on different continents

Well, it's really up to the two of you to make it work. As long as you're both on the same page and you're both putting in equal effort, you should be fine. It's good that you're confident you can do it. The distance you have isn't too bad at all and since you can drive, it will make it easier to get to and from. It's a bit of an adjustment, but you'll be able to figure everything out once you both have your routines. Communicate using other means like phone, text, IM, etc. Make time to see each other and just work it out as it goes on. If you are concerned about anything, talk it over with her. It's important to always keep the lines of communication open.

Good luck.

College is a time of having fun and being free. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work out.

If you want to make it work out give her some freedom. She's going to meet new guys. Guys that are stronger, bigger, better looking, and funnier then you. Being jealous is just going to make her want them more. You are going to have to have a lot of trust.
