Is it permissible in our religion to study in a city far from family?

I am studying somewhere far from the city where my parents live. The distance between the two cities is about 600 kilometers. My father takes me to the place where I will study. We have rented a safe house with my friends there. My father leaves me home and goes back. When I go to my family, he comes and picks me up. Is there an attitude contrary to the hadiths in doing this?

If there is no risk in terms of your religion and morals in the place you are in and the institution you attend, there is nothing contrary to fiqh when you do this. Because what is forbidden is for the woman to go to a place longer than the expedition distance alone, without her mahram companion. Living in the city without her mahram presence is not included in this prohibition.
