Being at University can cause a lot of problems for couples as many have to move away from each other to complete their chosen degrees and my experience was no different.
Not only do you have to move away from your family and friends to go somewhere completely foreign, you are also distant from the one you care about the most. It raises issues of trust, communication and loneliness. You are forced to compromise your relationship and adapt it to new ways of communication.
For me, Skype has been a relationship saver. It helps you communicate more effectively as you can see and speak to your boyfriend or girlfriend for free for as long as you like (which comes in handy when your a poor student!).
I have found that the most important things to make a relationship work long distance is trust, communication and compromise. Do what works for you and be open about how you feel so you can work through any issues you may have. But every couple will be different so do what makes you happy.
