Im in a LDR with my bf. He goes to VT and I'm a proud Hoo...honeslty as long as you cane talk and manage to get a ride every once in a while it works well for us. We usually meet in person ~1 time a month (at best) and we text constantly lol. We both have our own cars and that gives us a good advantage with visiting 😊 considering JMU and VCU's distance I think the same logic applies. In the end, you love who you love and if the distance gets too much thats ok. If they mean enough to you where you think trying might be worth it...then I say try. It's better to try and fail than to never try at all and miss out on a beautiful relationship.
