We pay the rent for the apartment that our son lives in. It is near his college that he attends about 2 hours away. Do we answer no for paul living with us?

Living away at school is considered to be a temporary absence. Since you are claiming your son as a dependent you can say he lived with you all year. You do not enter anything about paying his rent.

If his time at college is just temporary during the school year and he returns home while not attending school, then he is considered living with you while at college.
