Question

I am an Ashkenazi yeshiva student, I have a room in the yeshiva for sleeping, but most days I sleep at my parents' home, which is in the city of the yeshiva. Where should I light?

Answer

Since it is not possible to light in the yeshiva dining room, as it is not designated for residential use except during meal times, on the other hand, it is preferable to light where you eat. Therefore, it is better to have one meal in the room at the yeshiva and light there, or light at your parents' home.
