Well I myself am a student in PA, but all my registration, license, etc. is tied with NJ where my permanent residence is (and I don't plan on changing it!). I don't plan on staying in PA, and will return back to NJ upon finishing my studies. Throughout the year though, I probably spend more time in NJ than in PA lol....
No, I do not. I don't really care what the legal status is, culturally they are not, in my mind. I am from Chicago and going to school in Champaign, IL. Although I am proud to be going to school here and proud to be an 'Illini,' I am culturally from Chicago. If I were to stay here permanently after college, then I would feel like I am from here. The same goes with out of state students I know. The students who are going here that are from Arizona or California are 'Illini' and members of our University family, but they are 'from' California and Arizona, and they will say that to back me up.
It is a good question, though, because I think we feel like we are a part of where we go to school. Still, it is a different feeling than saying that you are from there.
So let's say there are some out-of-state undegraduate, college Students, studying in your state for 4 years. Their permanent residence is still with their address in their previous state, where their parents live. They go back to their previous state/permanent address during holidays and some weekends, etc. Do you consider such students to be from your state? what would they have to do to be considered "from your state"?
No. Not unless they stay in the state during holidays, hold a local drivers license, and list the state as their permanent address.
I'm assuming living in dormitory is not considered permanent residence?
I wouldn't consider it to be. College dorms are only open while classes are in session. When the college is closed for summer, winter, thanksgiving, spring and other breaks, dorms are closed and students aren't allowed to be there.
