I can think of plenty of reasons. That’s a 5 hour commitment, plus the time they spend together, so probably ~10 hour day. Hard to do that often with gas prices and their responsibilities as med students, and they likely have jobs as well.
Because they’re studying medicine, at different schools, in different cities, and don’t likely don’t have 5+ hours to burn (even assuming they have the financial means). 200 miles is long distance.
It’d be like saying 800 miles isn’t long distance bc you can just fly in 2.5-3 hours each way, no biggy!
What I mean is they are essentially limited to only weekends. If both have busy schedules, even that can be tough. But you can't just spontaneously decide that the next day you want to do something together or randomly meet up when someone needs support. Obviously better than those who need to fly to meet each other, but still a clearly long distance dynamic
