What is a permanent mailing address and city??

Question

I see it alot on college applications........

Answer 1

Your permanent mailing address and city is your home address.

Answer 2

It's your home address, one you stay at for a long time, not just the place you live for a short time as a student.

Answer 3

It's usually where your folks call home; the one place that you can always fall back on.

Answer 4

Yeah I'm seeing it alot too.

Just put your parent's address.  Don't ever put your dorm/apt address because those are subject to change often, and it's a big hassle to go around and change them every few months.

Answer 5

Where You Live!!!

Answer 6

A permanent mailing address and city is a place where you can consistently get mail for a number of years.  For most college freshman, this would be your parents' home address as opposed to the address of your dorm/apartment at college.

The goal is for the university/financial aide people to be able to reach you while you are gone on breaks, etc.
