When entering your dependent information be sure to select that the dependent lived with you in the US for more than 7 months. The time away at college counts as time at your home.  So the "whole year" in this case could also be appropriate. 

 

Additionally, you would need to indicate that the dependent did not provide more than half of his her own support (assuming that is true).
