If you're a college student, where should you be counted when filling out the 2020 Census?

Let's say you lived in apartment A during the spring 2020 semester but moved home when classes transitioned online due to COVID-19. Then you moved back to Columbia for the fall 2020 semester but you moved into apartment B.

Should you be counted in apartment A? At your parents' house? In apartment B?

The answer is that you should be counted in apartment A...where you were living during the spring 2020 semester before COVID-19. When filling it out, don't forget to include your roommates, they count too!
