COmbination of the two? Don't want to get buried in debt, but don't want to lose all your liquidity in case something pops up as well. You'll have 6 months after she is done before paying them back, so that could give you a change to rebuild what you pull out of savings, if only a bit.

If you ever drive that will be a LONG trip so I imagine you will be flying. What are the nearest Southwest Airlines airports? Portland and Omaha? If so, looks like each visit will run you $250-$400 in airfare alone. As a guy who has been in a long distance relationship for a year, facetime or skype video is your friend. My girlfriend and I are trying to spend a long weekend together every other month or a full week (Saturday to the Sunday of the following week) if we go more than three months apart. It's worth it in the end! Good luck!

Ideally I will keep most of my current savings, and spend a lot of my future income on it, and then pad that with loans. Its less than $40k for a full bachelors degree, which isn't a horrible deal.
Starting pay as a nurse in most locations is pretty decent though so even if you have to break your nest egg you will be replenishing it pretty quick if you can keep from spending the new income stream for awhile.

Frontier has $79 flights to colorado. So its less than $200 round trip. Gas in her jeep might cost more.

Yeah 6 hours is about right. We went and visited in late september. Rented a brand new VW passat. Was awesome.
There is a super cheap bus from the airport to the town she will be in. I think it should work out ok. I have a decent amount of vacation time, and can work remotely easily.

Trip how functional would these be with the top down, in terms of noise cancellation?
I have to wear earplugs in the miata, the tire noise from other vehicles on the freeway is overwhelming. If the cancellation on these is pretty good they might do the trick.
Ah hell I'm just going to try them

Here's an example to give you guys an idea about car prices in Turkey:
Sample car has a 2 liter engine...
Price as imported: 56000 TL ($17,984.62)
Special Consumption Tax 81200 TL ($26,061.76)
VAT 10080 TL ($3,235.25)
VAT on Special Consumption Tax 14616 TL ($4,691.11)
Price of car before dealer markup 161896 TL ($51,961.76)
Oh, minimum wage? about $400/month, take home.
Average income? under $1000, take home.
I fail at math. The roads are jam packed with CARS!
