Just tell them you are paying rent, and use your home address.

Security that you're living in the dorm.  The reason is that I've also been
attending a blindness training center here in New York that is only an hour
away from my house, and go home every weekend.  I have my home address for
SSI, so that's where they send my monthly benefits to.  I have never had any
problems with that; Social Security has never confronted me about what I do
with my checks.  The only thing they have contacted me about was to go to a
meeting back in May so that they could have proof of my blindness and hard
of hearing.

(although like you I'll be finishing in two weeks and going back home for
the summer), I still have my home address for receiveing my SSI benefits
since it's only an hour away and since I go home on weekends.  By the way,
I'll be doing the same for college in the fall, because my college is also
only about 15-20 minutes away from my house, and I'll also be living in the
dorm during the week and going home on weekends.
