My D is far from her BFs college- about 25+ hour drive apart, 3+ years dating & D is a junior now, BF/GF thing still going strong. She had planned to break up went she left for college, but realized they care deeply for each other and could provide support.

Long distance can work well- they have a certain groundedness in remembering who they were before college, esp when they are learning, stretching and growing at college. At the same time they each can fully particpate in college life with friends & not be glued to each other. I highly recommend it- though it is tough!

Get her to pick her college for her best place, not to be with any one (BF or HS best friend or any one else)
