I am a student at university. The university is 68 miles from my house and I returned every 2 weeks to my home. I therefore prayed qasr salaah. However, my family has bought a house for me to live in. I?m still return home after 2 weeks so

Answer

If you live at your university home for lesser than two weeks, then you will be a Musaafir and you have to make Qasr there.
