I am a university student living away from home. Is my rental considered my primary residence, or my parents house?

In 2024, I lived in a university residence for 4 months, and rented a house for 8 months. During this time, I returned home to visit, for a total of approximately 2 months (combination of weekends, to a couple of weeks at a time). I'm unsure if, for the purposes of taxes, my principal residence is my parents house or my living arrangements at university.
