I would tread very carefully with the administration and trying to alter your rotation assignment.
As you can see from the reaction on this thread, you can develop a reputation as a whinner and it can poison your relationships with classmates, residents and attendings even outside the rotation that you are on. I guarantee almost everyone in your class will face a scheduling or team problem during third year. Learning how to deal with it, is part of the process.
I am sorry that you have to be that far away from your family even with housing provided by the school. Although I don't think anyone should be required to go that far away from campus for a rotation, married or single. When your school elicits feedback, you should offer that they should advertise this reality to applicants so applicants and future med students would be aware that they could potentially be sent 110 miles away for rotations-- therefore, if anyone chooses to go to your school, they have agreed to do so if required. If an applicant is not willing to do this because of family reasons, they can chose not to apply or matriculate.
Unfortunately, most schools do not readily advertise far locations. I know most of my classmates are annoyed by having to drive more than 20 minutes to a location especially in this economy.
At the height of my family rotation, gas prices were $4/gallon and I was driving 28 miles one way to one of my sites. Fortunately, we got a little reimbursement for gas from this site and it was one of the best experiences I had as a third year in rural medicine. I could be there in the morning on campus in the afternoon and then drive back home with a total of over 50 miles per day. I put 10000 miles on a new car very quickly in third year. It is a price we pay.
Try to find the silver lining of this rotation-- you might have an amazing experience clinically.
