Onodrim and I go to two different schools about 2 hours away. Whether by car or by train, it costs about $40+ to visit one another. However, we've been seeing each other for 5 years.
That said, we dated for about a year and 3/4 before I went to college and I go to school about an hour from our hometown. So, since she's a year younger than me, the first year wasn't terrible. It's only been the past 2 and 1/2 years or so that we've really not been able to see each other very much during the school year. We keep in touch pretty much every day, however, through IM and the phone.
The truth is, I'm pretty positive that part of the reason we can handle it is becase we had such an established relationship beforehand. The other part is the wonder of modern technology since we can now communicate for free through IM as opposed to always getting a large phone bill.
I'm not sure how long you've been seeing this girl, but in my opinion unless the relationship is established to the point where you could reasonably see it developing into "the one," I wouldn't let it prevent you from meeting other people at school and, perhaps, becoming interested in them. Don't just break up with this girl for the sake of breaking up with her, but don't let your relationship with her hold you back from pursuing other possibilities, especially if there's no particular reason that makes this current relationship special.
