Long Distance Relationship? Are They Successful?

Ok, I live about an hour drive away from this girl. We are both 19 years old and have busy lives. I met her at a party where she lives and we hit it off, and then I went to another party where she lives and I invited her and had a great time.
Since the two parties I have gone up and hung out with her on two separate occasions. It seems like we really have a strong connection. I know she has some kind of feelings for me and I know I am starting to having some feelings for her. We have not talked about a relationship.
If we dated we could probably only hang out 1-2 maybe 3 days a week until summer.
So my question is…
Should I try to make a long distance relationship work (1 hour drive)? Or since I am in college should I just look for girls around here… not having much luck… (Lots of annoying party girls around here… good for one night, but can’t have a conversation with them for more than 5 minutes)
