In general, you would become a resident in a state on the day you moved there with the intent to not return as a resident to the state you were formally a resident of.
Since you are a college student, you may not be a resident of the state you are attending school in. If you have a family you live with when away from school in the state you lived in before you travelled out of state to attend college, then you would probably still be considered a resident of the state where your family lives. As a general rule, you are a resident of the state you lived in before you travelled away to another state for a temporary period of time. So, if you are just in the state attending school but you will return to the state you came from when you are done with your studies, you would likely be considered a non-resident in the state you are attending school in.
