Should College Students be allowed to vote where they attend college

So because someone has moved into an area, specifically to better themselves, they aren't allowed to influence local politics?
Why is going to college any different than moving to the area to work? Most college students aren't getting a free, parent-funded ride. They take out loans, while working side jobs for living money. The money that they give to local colleges and universities provide jobs and tax income for those same communities.
Tell me again in what way they aren't productive members of society?
