For some Yalies, however, love is thousands of miles away. "On my FOOT trip, they told us that 99 percent of high school relationships don't even make it past the second or third week of freshman year," Roger Schonfeld, SM '99, recalled. Yet a number of students--and a growing list of professors dealing with the same predicament--are defying the conventional wisdom that long-distance inevitably equals doom. "A lot of people are shocked when they first hear that I'm still with my high school girlfriend," Dylan Chan, BK '99, commented. "But then they're like, `Hey, that's great...how do you do that?'" Based on the experiences of both students and professors in long-distance relationships, the answer seems to be a complicated mixture of flexibility, compromise, commitment, and love.
