Hi Clemence,
That's a tough one. You can email, text message and phone to keep in touch, but doing things together is going to be hard. How far of a distance is it? Is it driveable if you both can meet somewhere half way on weekends? A friend of mine's relationship survived that way. He'd drive five hours one way and so would she and they'd meet in the middle. They didn't get to spend a lot of time together, but they had Saturday nights for dinner, movies, etc. Quality, not quantity time. I haven't talked to him in awhile, but last I did they were still married.
Good luck.

I'm still with my boyfriend and we spent 3 years apart, him at MIT in America, and me in Bristol.
We then lived together for one year, and now I'm in Finland, and he's back in the UK.
So I think they can work out.
I also dated a guy whilst I was at uni in Scotland and he lived in York.
It can work!
You just both need to be serious about each other.
