Long distance relationship at uni?

So I'll be going to uni this year, and my girlfriend will not be (she's younger so will be in college- and we're both over 16 so I don't want comments about that).

The potential problem is she's really clingy and struggles with being alone (this is not a problem for me in most circumstances as I've been able to cater for this usually).

But during my A levels she got pretty depressed with how much I was revising and not being with her. What should I do for uni? We've discussed it and she says she'll manage with a long distance relationship, but I'm not so sure. If I get into my firm, it's a very long way away. There's lectures on saturdays, and sometimes even supervisions on sundays so I really won't have much opportunity to see her in term time.

I know there's calls and texts which I've agreed to do as much as possible, but I'm not sure how I can find a balance between study (difficult course at very intensive uni) and making sure she doesn't get lonely. Any tips
