Do medium distance relationships work?

I've seen so many people trying and failing that I don't know what to expect. I absolutely adore my boyfriend and wish to be wherever he is. But in a few weeks I am leaving to live and study in a different town, quite near actually, but still. I chose a hard carreer so I probably won't have time to travel home, or be with him when he comes visit. We are both very clingy, so it's going to be horribly hard to be apart. We are used to seeing each other whenever we want. I am scared and awfully sad about leaving (happy in general but sad about my relationship) and have no idea if we can handle this. He definitely wishes for us to stay together too, he may come live to the same town in a year or two.
Anyway I would love to get some input here, has anyone been in a long distance relationship or know a story about someome? Any advice from the bottom of your hearts? Thank you :(

    If it's just in another town it isn't really that far apart- is it? It takes me around an hour to get to my boyfriend. I am used to 1-2 hours distance but then again we have a pretty awesome public transport compared to a lot of other countries too so it's easy to travel longer distances.

    If you want to make time to be with him during weekends if he comes visit I think that you can. Put an hour of extra work into your studying during the week and treat yourself with some time together with him during the weekends at least. If you are too busy to travel to him, pay for half of the travelling costs for him.

    Me and my boyfriend had that kind of talk yesterday and I cried like a bitch telling him that if he picked a school that was too far away I would much rather end the relationship on the spot rather than trying distance. I know myself and I know that I am clingy and I would refuse to be able to not get to see him at least every weekend. (Unless special occasions such as a longer vacation)

    Is there a possibility for your BF to live with you where you move? If not now, maybe him and you could work together for that to happen.

    It honestly depends on your patience.
    I have a few friends who had long distance relationships,
    but they met online so not sure if you'd count it.

    Don't leave him, if it's still possible to see each other. Not if you love each other, anyway. I wouldn't leave my boyfriend for anyone, anything or any distance.
