I guess what concerns me is the idea of being caught 'between states'. If your parents still have their house and it's you last address of record, then fine. But if you give up your physical residence to move to your college, then how could you claim residence at and address you no longer rent or own?
The bottom line is that everyone lives somewhere, and the US tradition is to not tie the right to vote to property ownership.
