Yes, that is probably your best option. You can claim part year for each. However, if you will be in NY again with school, I like Susan's suggestion of saying NY resident and take credit for tax paid to CA. Students wander all over so it is not considered a move unless you are changing your driver's license, insurance, voting, bigger items. Students intern all over the world and it is normal to come and go. You want to use an address where you can get mail if either state sends you a letter.
