Where do you call home?  That is probably a question that you have been asked many times.  Up to this point, you have probably had little say in where you call home.  However, that is about to change.  Residency is about where you live, work, play, and ultimately about where you will now call “home.”

• Colleges
• Gas Stations
• Hospitals
• Banks
• Post Office
• Supermarkets
