Question

A young man who is in a dormitory and goes home for vacation during Hanukkah after the time of lighting candles, where should he light the candles, at home or in the dormitory? 

Answer

Shalom Rav and Happy Hanukkah

Since at the time of lighting the candles he is still in the dormitory where he resides regularly, he should light the candles there. Even if he intends to leave later in the evening.
