I was a student in California for 2018. I went to New York for my internship for 3 months during the same year. What would be my state of residence?

Being a student or doing an internship are both considered temporary absences.  Your residence state is the place you consider as your true, fixed and permanent home/abode.  It is the state to which you intend to return after a temporary absence like college or an internship.  

You are not considered a resident of New York as your internship is considered temporary.  When asked if you lived in another state, you can say no.
