Assalaamu alaykum,
I'm asking in the context of moving away from home for uni. Is it possible to have two "home" places, where you pray full in both regardless of how long you stay there?

Nay, truly! He is like a ruby amongst stones...

As far as I know, no you cant if your intending to stay at the uni for less than 15 days. So if your coming back home every weekend then you'll have to shorten your prayer at uni and when you get back home you'll pray full namaaz even if you stay for 2 days.

If you stay at uni for the whole semester and come back only for the holidays then the uni will be your place of iqama (Temporary residence) and as your staying there for longer than 15 days you'll pray full namaaz.

However if you are praying in Jamaah and the Imam is a resident then you'll pray the full namaaz behind him.

Hope it helps.

May Allah (Subhanu Watala) forgive me if i've said anything wrong, Ameen.
