writes: I am starting University next month and am scared about how it's going to affect my relationship with my boyfriend. He will be starting his second year at a uni about 70 miles away from mine. In his first year I was still at school so he would come home to visit me every weekend but completely resent it and we eventually broke up. We got back together this summer and he is now ready to make the commitment he was unable to before, though he is now worried I will find someone else at uni. I want to be with him but don't know what to expect when I get there as it's all new to me. I would like to see him regularly without missing out on a social life and people thinking I'm never there. Do you think there's any hope for us sustaining a good relationship?

With two universtities located so close to each other, there are bound to be both faculty and students who commute regularly between the two schools. When you start school, look into finding these people- post a notice on a common bulletin board asking for a ride to the other university. Sometimes you will have to help pay for the gas; other times, people figure the gas is going to be used whether one person goes or two, and they will injoy the company and conversation to keep themselves alert. YOu obviously won't be able to see him all the time, or avoid conflicts with the social activities at your new school. Life is full of choices, so learn to balance your activities. There are many couples who see each other only a couple of times a month, and who stay active while in school. If you are good for each other, you will survive this.
