Option 2. I registered to vote there and everything. Of course I lived there year round most of the time in college so it made far more sense even though the actual reason was more "I don't want to be a NoDak." even though I kept my driver's license until I graduated.

Can't really speak about this in the past tense. I'll just say that on campus, I refer to myself as being from Springfield Township/Davisburg. If, say, a group of us goes out of state, we're from Detroit. It'd be situation-dependent.

I lived 20 minutes from school, so naturally where I was born and raised.

I identify mildly with Maryland, but my much stronger identification has always been with California. I am registered to vote in Maryland, but not in the county in which I live now. It's a complicated situation.

I went to school at Dickinson, and was from Wailuku at the time. Both are very far away from each other.

That being said, I always said I was from Hawaii.

Option 3. I went to school in my hometown so it didn't matter.

Option 3. I'm not an Amherst local but I am from Western Mass, as is my entire family for as long as we've been in America. I registered to vote in Amherst because it made life easier for me, then switched to the nearby, more rural town where my family lives after I graduated.

Hometown, sort of.  I split my 0-18 years exactly in half between two different cities so I don't feel like I have one hometown.  I identify with one or the other based on what is more socially advantageous.

Charleston has always been a part of me. What a great city - I don't care if Atlasians hate the south.

One of my top three favorite cities.

     Hometown. I usually won't admit to being associated with the town where my college is located.

 Colleges are left-wing propaganda outlets; so, naturally, I did not go to college.

My university is in my hometown, so Option 3. The only people who move to go to university where I live are those from rural areas.

Hometown, but of course I registered to vote in my college town.  Why mess around with absentee voting when you don't have to?

Short answer: North Carolina.

Long answer: As you'd imagine, lots of people at LSU are from New Orleans. If I tell people I'm from New Orleans, they assume I live there and I inevitably get asked which I high school I went to. Though I was born there, I moved out New Orleans when I was just in 5th grade Tongue

I would definitely say I identified more with being from Houston than from Waco because Waco is such a Horrible Place (HP). I know some people would come from out of state and get into the whole "Texas" mindset and others didn't.

However, since I was going to college in Chet Edwards' somewhat swing-y district (TX-17), I felt it made more sense to vote there and have my vote count than it did to vote in my safe GOP district back home. He lost in November 2010, and I graduated and moved away the next month.
