Long Distance Relationship: Need a break Advice please!

Hey, i need advice on a long distance relationship. Me and this guy have been together for 6 months now, and now he feel like we should take a break. We stay 2 hours away and barely see each other. He says the distance is killing him, he wants to be close to me. Starting in august, we will be attending the same school so we will see each other everyday. He told me he still want us to stay close, because he has feelings for me. I was going to break it off completely but he begged me not to. He told me he want us to get back together in august. We agreed to talk but not see or date other people until then. I really like this guy, because he a pretty nice guy and my family loves him. We still gone visit each other from time to time. He said he doing what he thinks best, because when we away from each other all we do is agrue, when we are in person we get along just fine. Just want to know am i making the right decision, how do i cope with the break until august. Have anyone ever took a break and got back with someone and it felt the same? I need advice please help
