Boyfriend broke up with me because i went too uni

In my first year at uni my boyfriend broke up with me after we had been together almost six years because going to university put too much of a strain on our relationship, has anyone gone through something similar? And if so how did you deal with it? Or how did you manage to make it work even though you are so far apart? I feel like going to uni was a huge mistake :(
