Can a college student file a PA state tax return to ask for a refund of PA state tax withheld?

My son is a full-time college student who is studying at Philadelphia, PA. During summer 2018 he worked at Philadelphia but lived at home (Cherry Hill, NJ). The total income is less than $5000. His W-2 has Federal tax withheld, PA state tax withheld, and Philadelphia local income tax withheld. I claimed him as a dependent and claimed the tuition credit. Like to check 1) should he file a NJ state tax return? 2) Can he file a PA state tax return to ask for the refund of PA state tax withheld?
