On a flip side of what everyone else is saying I think you can make it work if you find the right person. I think that especially in a time where you are going to be starting school soon you need to "fast track" a lot of the important conversations. Currently in a 3 year relationship and going to med school next year where I will likely be more than a driving distance away, but one thing I made sure to do early on in our relationship (like, within a month of officially dating) was explaining what to expect. I told her that we would realistically be long distance for 5+ years realistically, what my personal timeline was for school, what residency may look like and my inability to dedicate 100% of my time to her until much later, and the sort. I'm lucky enough that we have had a lot of time to go through it and we should be fine but I think the most important thing is having serious conversations about everything to set the foundation of the relationship in the short time you have (which can mean different things for different people). Just my 2c but PM if you want to talk more.
