He has to understand how important your finals are for your future. Make sure you speak to him every day but have set days when you can see him.

Tell him when he feels lonely (this is the real issue and he has fears of rejection and abandonment which relate to his childhood home or possibly an disorder-they tend to go hand in hand) to look at the photo or read over the emails and letters.
Make it a point to call him twice a week so he can hear your voice.
When can you schedule in having him visit you or you him? Make this commitment and KEEP it.
This will comfort and reassure him as it clearly sounds like this is a fear of abandonment which has him acting clingy.
I'll try post you something later about why he may feel what he does.
Hope this helps.
Best Wishes.
