@Photium The question still is and you need to do the math, did you provide over 1/2 of your support with less than 1/2 total coming from all the other sources (scholarships and parents).
Here is a link to a worksheet to help. See worksheet 2.
As @Plato mentions you are considered to have lived with your parents even when away at college especially if living in temporary quarters.
If you provided more than 1/2 of your support, then you may not be a dependent. You have to provide the proof, if the IRS asks at some point in the future. So be sure to keep the completed worksheet.
