Question

I am an Ashkenazi yeshiva student whose yeshiva does not have a dormitory, and I sleep at my parents' home, but I eat most of my meals at the yeshiva. Where should I light the Hanukkah candles?

Answer

Light at your parents' home, and it is preferable that you eat one meal there.

Source

Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim, Siman 677, סעיף 1) Mishnah Berurah and Beur Halacha (there); Azmera Leshimcha (Issue 118). Although the place of eating is primary, here it seems that the permanence is at his parents' home.
