Do relationships survive med school?

I was just wondering the chances of a relationship surviving med school. I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years and we dont seem to have any problems, everything is going great. however, I will be leaving after next year and am not from the same area as my girlfriend so we wont be able to see each other during summers or breaks or anything. Should I just accept that we wont survive and apply to places really far away like UNECOM? or should I keep her in mind when applying?
Any input would be helpful. Thanks

you are asking the e-community whether or not you should think about your GF when applying to schools... it seems to me that subconsciously it'd be ok with you if you and your girl parted ways...

I will be going through the long distance thing for at least 2 years (i'll be in FL, girl will be in TX) we are both confident that we will be together in the end...And im sure there are plenty of people that have survived long D ..As for applying to schools...apply to all the schools you are interested in..then when you get your acceptances..start worrying about this...

Im in the same boat here. I've been with my gf for almost 3 yrs and we would like to stay together. However, she is concerned about me going far away, like Chicago or UNE. The truth is, I am considering only a few colleges within 4 hours of my house to stay closer to her (im in Pittsburgh so you do the math).

I am starting to believe that relationships will last for some and not for others simply because they were not meant to be and going off to school was the catalyst that started the demise of the couple.

good luck!

Some relationships survive, some dont't. If you both want to make it work and communicte, your relationship may continue. I would apply to where YOU want to go. If you all are serious, you will make time to see each other.

I feel for you all, I'm gonna be an MS1 and my girl is going to be student teaching. My advice, make sure she understands exactly how your lives are going to be. Let her know how your busy schedule is going to affect your relationship. If you decide you are going to make it, and its meant to be, stay with it.

I was told when I went to school, that only single and married people survived, all relationships ended. And I talked with my gf, and niether of us is interested in marriage for a few years, so why push it? Many people do survive med school in relationships. Honestly, all of my friends that are going to school broke up with their girlfriends basically because they heard this stereotype, and mostly so they could sleep with random girls before they went away to school. Most relationships that start in college, end in the real world, so why would med school be any different?
