Should a Yeshiva Bochur or Seminary student who is living in a dorm recite Tefilas Haderech each morning until he returns Home?[1]

Seemingly both the parents home and the door room are considered the home of the student, and is no different than an individual who owns two homes in two different areas and spends time in each home during the year. Accordingly, in my opinion Tefilas Haderech does not need to be set each morning, and is to be said with a blessing upon traveling between home and dorm or the dorm and home.
