Being in the military puts you in a whole different category, with different rules, than does your being a student at a college or university. In the latter case, in most instances you are still dependent on your parents for tuition and for much of your living expenses. If you are in the military, you are responsible for yourself.

This is true. Both tax law and Federal financial aid regulations consider a full-time college student as a dependent of his or her parents and thus legally domiciled with his or her parents, unless they meet certain criteria to gain independent status. One of those criteria is veterans of the armed forces.

Thanks for confirming the above. Having just gone through completing a FAFSA, it’s pretty clear students are clearly connected to their parents, as far as the government is concerned. Therefore, they should vote where they live, not where they attend college.
