Hello, FTP here and sorry for any mistakes, I'm not native english.

&amp;#x200B;

In September of last year I moved away from the city I had lived in all my life to go to university and since then only my family and two of my friends (each once) have visited me, while I often go back to the city. The country I live in is not big, so it's around 3 hours away from where I lived before, but you have to cross a bridge, which does it make it more expensive (around $45 by train, unless you plan ahead and get cheaper tickets and a bus system goes for extremely cheap). 

&amp;#x200B;

I have mentioned how much this frustrates me to my friends and the general responses I get are usually that it's cheaper to just get one ticket for me to get over there, than if they had to pay for several tickets to get over to me, but I am the one who has to pay every time and as a student I don't have that kind of money.

&amp;#x200B;

On of the friends who has visited me (because he was already in the city visiting another friend) said to me, that if you're the one moving away, then you're the one who always have to take initiative and that just seems wrong to me, because friendship requires work from both sides.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and possibly some help on how to resolve it.
