How are you deciding which program to go to?

I've also been wondering about long-distance.

Since we met I've lived in the same town with my boyfriend of two years. I studied abroad a couple summers ago, and although I didn't have much trouble with it (probably because I had so much going on), my boyfriend was pretty unhappy with me being gone. Sorry if this is too much information!

Does anyone have experience with long-distance relationships? What works and what doesn't?

Hi. I from the West Coast and attended graduate school on the East coast. I met my boyfriend of 9 months 21/2 months before moving. It really works for us because we are both committed and really see a future (not lukewarm). We facebook video chat and read, watch tv( Netflix/HBO Go), talk, and play games (ex scrabble/words with friends). We even just have the facebook (or skype) on while I study and he does his thing just to have time together during quick breaks or comment. We also have date nights with wine and movies etc. It does take time, a lot of commitment, and trust but it can work. You do need to make time for each other, try and communicate effectively, scheduled visits to meet together, and make time for each other (priority). Edited March 21, 2015 by Yancey

All too familiar with them, unfortunately. You make it work, and it often seems way more daunting than it actually is. Feel free to shoot me any questions/concerns you might have!
