We've always had trouble meeting up because neither of us can drive yet, so it's money for buses and we don't live very close, but he manages to come over to my house and sometimes stay over about once every few months (his parents have never been fair on when he can go out) but I've never been to his house over the 4 years. His dad has offered a couple of times over the years but they have a dodgy family dynamic, so my best friend never wanted me to have to sit through it. Now college will have ended in a month and it's weird thinking that the one thing that means we see each other regularly will be over. I'm worried about what will happen and if we will still be able to stay close. Is it stupid to be worried?

No I wouldn't call it stupid not at all, the thing with life is we go through different stages, and many friendships end after college so it is understandable that you are worried, however some friendships do survive as well. You are both adults now, have you spoke about what you both plan to do after college? Are you both still going to be living in your family homes?
I think what you need to do is talk to him about your worries, and am sure you can both come up with a plan where your friendship can be giving a chance to work.
