We've been dating for ten months. I love her and we're both pretty committed to making this work long-term. 

Just to clear, I know that a lot of people try and fail to make high school relationships work. I do understand that the odds are against us. **I definitely know that 95% of high school relationships fall apart in the first semester of college, which is why I'm asking for suggestions on how to maximize our chances.** 

* I'm going to college about an hour away.

* Her parents like me and have said that they would be okay with her visiting me at school, so that's not really a problem. 

* I (probably) won't have a car but it's not bad by bus/train. She'll have a car.

* We're both pretty independent. We already did long distance for 2 months, and we survived.  Even though I love spending time with her and I miss her when she's not around, neither of us just stop functioning when we're not around the other person 24/7. 

* She's definitely helping me move in, she's coming for parents' weekend (long story), and I'm going home for Thanksgiving/Christmas. We've talked about doing something regular like one weekend a month, but I don't think that's going to happen first semester because we're already seeing each other 4 times in 4 months. 

Again, I know that it doesn't work out for most couples, which is why I'm asking for advice on how to improve the chance that we can actually make this work.
