In the distance (preposition) usually implies something that you can see away from where you are. Far (adverb) indicates something at a distance that you cannot see.
We live far from the university.
The lights in the distance twinkled like bright stars.
Note:
They traveled to far-away lands. (far-away = far-off)
There was a far-away look in his eye. (far-away = neglectful)
I've read as far as the third chapter.
I'll walk with you as far as the post office.
So far the work has been easy, but things may change.
I trust you only so far (and no further).
