any experiences with long distance uni relationships? m18 f18

r/

any advice or experiences are SO welcome.. me and my boyfriend have been together since feb (7months) but only got the official label in june (i wanted to wait till after a levels). we genuinely love eachother and he was meant to come to exeter uni with me in september but due to his grades he’ll probably go to royal holloway instead. this is a 3 hour train away. anyone who was in a LDR at uni – how did it work? im worried about freshers and also about finding time to see eachother, bearing in mind we are both social people and so want to make friends and settle in to our universities. he really wanted to come to exeter. im so scared about the future considering we haven’t been together for long and how it might break how strong we are now. the “what if it works out” makes me feel like it would be wrong to just end it but i don’t know.

    It would be a tragedy to miss out on the college experience because you are busy every weekend traveling to/from seeing your boyfriend. And vice versa for him.
