Does he return home on summer breaks and such or does he stay in his apartment year round?  If he is staying year round at his home at the school, and has for the past 2 years without intention of returning home, then his home with his roommates would be his home and his bedroom would not count as his home any longer. 

 

How old is he?

 

What was his total tuition? How much are the loans?  How much are the scholarships? Whose name are the loans in?  The loans count as support for the person who is responsible for the loan.  So if he took the loan out, then this would count as him paying for his education.

 

Grants and Scholarships do not count as support.  Loans do count as support on the side of the person who is liable for the loan.
