Podcast: When breaking up is hard to do

Owen Huelsbeck and Chonsa Schmidt

Santa Clara University seniors and Center Hackworth Fellows Chonsa Schmidt and Owen Huelsbeck talk with their classmates about dating at a distance.  They touch on the infamous "turkey dump" but also look at how students deal with study abroad and other reasons for separation.  What are the characteristics of a relationship that can endure, and what is the most ethical way to break up when you aren't living in the same place?
