AlfaWolf04 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I'm a college student, and my girlfriend of 1 year and 2 months managed to get into med school. I am extremely happy for her since her lifelong dreams are finally starting to take form. Problem is, her school is 3 hours away and I don't have a car. She has a car, but won't often be able to find time to come visit me, because med school will literally own her life (she says she'll be lucky to even make it to church). I know 3 hours away might not seem like much, but between an undergrad with a part-time job and a med school student, it's a huge amount of time. I've tried finding ways around this problem. First I tried looking at alternative modes of transportation, but Greyhound would take 9 hours (and being a student myself, I dont have that much time to burn) and Amtrak doesnt run near her school. I've also tried lookin for a car, but I won't be able to afford one until next semester, and even then, it'll be difficult to pay off. I know we'll be fine, and we'll stay together no matter what. I guess what I'm lookin for is ideas to help make the situation easier (or transportation ideas that I didn't already think of). She's going to be so busy, med school being the hell that it is, and I'm worried that we wont be able to talk much, let alone get to see each other. Any advice?
tearful_soul22 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 how about moving in together, getting an apartment close by, and for you to attend school where she is? you're really in a tough situation here..seems to me you've exhaust all possibilities. that's all the suggestion i can give you right now but maybe someone else in here who probably been in the same situation like you can share their opinions as to this subject on hand. meanwhile, take care and goodluck to you! be patient and don't lose hope!
