Nubian, you have a couple of choices,
1) you can change your registration and vote in your college town, which means you would not only be voting for the national elections but the state/local elections in that city as well.
2) You can keep your registration at your parent's address and vote absentee ballot. You do not have to actually go home (which may be a hardship, depending on how far a way you are), but you can still participate on the local level in your home town, where you may have access to more information about candidates, etc.
The choice is yours. When I was in college I saw people do it both ways, although most people simply registered in their college town because it was easier. I will tell you some 'town folks' don't like this because it may tilt the results in the favor of folks who are basically part time citizens. I say it doesn't matter where you vote, just be an informed voter!
