Answer: Hey! Girl,\n\nIt would be advisable to keep in touch and set a schedule where one would visit the other and vice versa. \n\nBased on my experience back in my college days, I've been dating my ex bf for 5 years since 3rd year high, and when I went to College which is 1 1/2 hour drive from home and stayed in the dorm, we haven't seen each other for quite a while, he sometimes visits me but not so often as he goes to college too or I will go home and have time to visit him. Since my interest changes due to my college experience with my new found friends in the exclusive school for girls, our communication was not quite as often as before. I discovered that he was seeing another girl. After a few years, that relationship didn't even last, until I went abroad to work. After a few years, I came back on a holiday and happen to meet him again but he's already married to someone else. But we're still friends, and we still belong to our circle of friends since high school. I have no regrets for moving on to college, staying in the dorm or going abroad. I improved myself. I keep meeting new friends and sometimes a new boyfriend, but that's just it. Relationship is good while it lasts, it gives me joy and inspiration. \n\nI suggest that you move on with your life and embrace the new experience while you still have your boyfriend at heart. Develop yourself and improve yourself, it's for your own self worth. If he would have time to see you, it means he's committed to you. But if the schedule is kind of hectic at times, keep yourself busy. Don't worry about it, you're still young.\n\nTake care.\n\nMitch
