Student Exemption
I came across this older thread because I am a college student in a similar scenario, however I'm looking to buy a handgun.
For posterity I wanted to share, the ATF provides a specific stipulation for residency status of college students for the purchase firearms:
Similarly, in ATF Ruling 80-21 (ATFB 1980-4, 25), ATF held that, during the time college students actually reside in a college dormitory or at an offcampus location, they are considered residents of the State where the on-campus or offcampus housing is located.
This is from the ATF webpage, Page 2 Paragraph 3 of this article:

The law says you can, but unless you have a government ID with an address on it good luck finding an FFL who will sell you one.
