Me and my gf have been together for 6 months now. Where going to different colleges, there about 2 hours away. Well probably talk to each other everyday over the phone, but are chances slim on staying together?

Just from what I have seen, I would put your odds of staying together through college at no greater than 5%. You both will meet new people, have new experiences, and make new friends. After a few months, most couples I knew had found that they had grown to far apart. I give you until Christmas next year. While this may seem like a bad thing, it could lead to a bunch of new experiences.
It will take an enormous commitment on both of your parts to keep your relationship together. I have found that most couples coming out of high school do not have that level of commitment.

Sorry to say this, but yes. I've known a dozen kids who went to university with their a gf/bf somewhere else and the relationships disintegrated within the year. At 18 or so, you aren't at the stage in your life where a relationship can easily survive these long kind of the separations and you are both building completely new adult lives, lives which exclude the other person and grow and change in ways that may be unexpected. Also, there is the added temptation of other, readily available people, bars, parties, and hook ups. These factors combined may ultimately doom the high school romance

Unless your deeply, DEEPLY committed to making this work, which means your both willing to travel the distance to see each other, go out on dates (when its possible), etc., it's gonna be a tough game to play.
You may have the potential to make it work, but you two would have to be ready and willing to fight to have the relationship you have going now.
I won't lie, it'll be more hard because you'll meet new people, heck, might even fall for someone else, and it'll get increasingly difficult to meet because you've gotta spend all your time studying, and experiencing a college life.
Think long and hard wondering if your willing to make some sacrifices to make it work, and willing to put in a TON of effort to stay together.
If it doesn't work out, perhaps fate will bring you two back together in the future.
good luck

OK i had the same problem. I had been dating a guy for 6 months and he moved away. He is 3 and a half hours away from me but we are still together and have been for over 2 years now. You never know it just depends on how strong you bond is.

That would surely measure your feelings. This situation will make or break your chain. I am not scaring you but distance makes a person weak. Give your best shot. Let each feel that you are loved and cared of.
But above all, if you have the chance to be together go for it!
Better to be sure, than sorry.

I think your relationship is too new. Your focus should be on your studies. I have a daughter who dated her husband for six years. They knew each other in high school but did not start dating until after their 1st yr in college. Throughout their dating they each respected the goals they each set out for for themselves. After years of college....out of the country intern-ships they stood the test of time. They each went to grad school and endured separations only keeping intouch by phone or sometimes visiting on diffrent coasts. I glad to say i have the greatest son-inlaw and love him dearly. I told my daughter how much i respect their decisions to allow each other to seek their own opportunities and follow their own dreams . I think their marriage will last for a longtime out of mutual respect for each other. I hope this will help you in your journey.
