Does a long stay prevent one from taking the dispensations of travel?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Fahd, says: I am a university student residing in the university dormitory, which is one hundred and twenty kilometers from home, and I stay there for two months. Do I shorten the prayer or not? And what is the duration for shortening? And peace be upon you.

Answer:
It is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer or combine prayers, because you are not a traveler; you are not a traveler. Your long stay has ended the travel. So, if one intends to stay for more than four days, it is not permissible for him to shorten the prayer, because he has become a resident. Yes.
