Do you think college students should be registered to vote in the state of their college?

Rachel Maddie discussed a Supreme Court case on her show last night. It was Symm v. United States regarding registering to vote and state residency.
The case happened during the time that the minimum age to voted changed from 21 to 18. The main argument for this was if young men could be drafted they should be able to vote. The decision to change the age, meant a lot of college students would be voting. States around the country were denying college students the right to vote. The court case affirmed that college students are residents at their school address and can vote in that district.
My question for you is, in your opinion, are the students residents at their school address? Or, should they be voting absentee ballot? What if they are out of state students? If they are residents to vote, then should out of state students be able to pay in state tuition?
